OK czar
you explain to me how anyone can "hide" from suicide bombers.
the result is NOT the same. Hitting military targets w/ Civilian casualties does not result in the same kind of civilian casualties as Hitting civilian targets with the intent to hit civilians.
The irony of this WHOLE debacle is, your probably have a Healthy dose of respect for Ghandi and Ghandi would never have approved of Palestinian Action.
Your bottom line argument has always been, save lives at all costs. the truth is sometimes people must die in order for STUPID leaders to finally come to their senses. The palestinians and the Arab leadership in general must first come to terms with the fact that ISREAL is there to stay. once that happens you can talk peace. WITHOUT a complete agreement by ALL arab leaders acknowledging ISREAL SOVEREIGNTY and ISREALS RIGHT TO REMAIN THERE, Isreal would be foolish to attempt any kind of Peace.
You sound a lot like
<< << Members of the Norwegian committee that awards the annual Nobel Peace Prize have launched an unprecedented verbal assault on Israeli Foreign Minister and Nobel peace laureate Shimon Peres.
Mr Peres accepted the peace prize jointly with the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israel's late prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, in 1994.
In an interview with a Norwegian newspaper, committee members said they regretted that Mr Peres' prize could not be recalled because, as a member of the Israeli cabinet, he had not acted to prevent Israel's re-occupation of Palestinian territory.
One member said Mr Peres had not lived up to the ideals he expressed when he accepted the prize.
"What is happening today in Palestine is grotesque and unbelievable," said Hanna Kvanmo.
"Peres is responsible, as part of the government. He has expressed his agreement with what [Israeli Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon is doing," she said.
If he had not agreed with Sharon, then he would have withdrawn from the government."
Oslo Bishop Gunnar Stalsett, a committee member for the past eight years, describes as "absurd" what he sees as the involvement of a Nobel laureate in human rights abuses.
Other committee members argue that the Israeli government's actions in general and Mr Peres' involvement in particular are threatening to bring the prize into disrepute.
Ms Kvanmo said however that "at the time, it was a correct decision" to honour Peres.
"He was the one of the three that really deserved the prize, because he took the initiative to the talks that led to the Oslo accords," she said.
Committee chairman Geir Lundestad voiced the concern of several members that if Mr Arafat were to be killed as a result of Israeli actions, one Nobel laureate might in effect be said to have killed the other.

If peace is to come to the Middle east IT MUST START WITH THE ARABS ACCEPTING THAT ISREAL IS THERE TO STAY.
In Isreal, Isrealies are the Recognized government and as such they have the RIGHT to protect their citizens from Terrorists.
If that makes me a fascist, LONG LIVE FASCISM.
