Maybe not, but it is if they are trying to negociate a peace with the people whose land it is.


I'm not sure that the Palestinian leadership wants peace. I'd make a pretty big wager that what they want is ALL of Palestine.

Israel removed the settlers from the Sinai quite some time ago. Now the settlers are gone from the Gaza Strip. Israel's removal of the settlers from those 2 areas shows me they would be willing to remove them from the West Bank also if needed. I dont think that is bad faith, but thats just me. :)

Thrawn:
"So 113,829 births a year for Israel verses 1,724,857 for Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. And that isn't even including the Palistinians. Israel isn't and can't win.

Cripes, and this doesn't even touch on the economics."

Some things FYI.
The economical system of the 11 arab countries with 250 million+ inhabitants (same size as the US) is AFAIK about the size of the one in Spain.
Syria fought with Israel, so did Egypt, Israels enemies have been helping each other out economically as well without any gain. Israel has friends too you see, so maybe you should add the economy and birth rate of the USA and UK etc....
And for Palestine, - I think there will never be peace while the Palestinians do not recognize Israel as a state, and are fuelled up in that opinion by that avacado in Iran :D
Maybe that's just me though...

Just what is all of Palestine?  There has never been, in the history of man, a country of Palenstine.

There has been one called Palestine, though. See for example the first British Mandate report to the LoN, which began:

" When General Allenby's army swept over Palestine, in a campaign as brilliant and decisive as any recorded in history, it occupied a country exhausted by war."

Sinai and Gaza between them amounted to less than 20,000 settlers. The West Bank has about 450,000 (inc east Jerusalem)

The other difference is that Sinai and Gaza were not part of biblical Israel. The religious connection with them was nowhere near as strong.

Unless some agreement had been negotiated that would have precluded Israel from allowing settlers in the West Bank, I dont think that is *bad faith*.


The Oslo accords committed Israel to recognise the teritorial intergrity of the West Bank and Gaza, and to a final status agreement withing 5 years. Settlement more than doubled after the Oslo accords were signed.

when the other side states that your countrymen should all drown in the sea, I think that has a negative effect on any "negotiations" with their "leaders"

Through conquest in wars they did not start. I think that is an important point.

Unfortunatly it is too long discussion to read. But I have several words to add....


What would US do if every day missiles were falling on NY from Cuba, and killing 20-30 people every day and all the east part of US were sitting in shelters?


What would US do to Cuba? Interesting.....

Well, Libya manage to lob a rocket at Italy once. Well, Italy is in Nato or?
So, Nato struck AFAIK, From Britain. It was a co-effort RAF and USAF?
Oh dear, bear in mind that the Brits are 0-peeean country.
And the U.S. is US?
Please mind your delicate line of being rude dude....

Anyway, you have a another point. Israel has recently had some 1.200 missiles lobbed at civilian areas, from Lebanon. Imagine the US getting hit with 1200 missiles from Mexico, those mostly aimed at civilian areas while the Mexican army stands idly by....Well, it's just the dissidents who pretend to have Texas you see.....

I guess you'd hit them on the nose ;)

Finally....what do the Russians do as well.....after all they're just another "0-peeean country "

Dead, there is a long way between a thug and submission.

With enough people in one country who share your view, say in Britain and the USA in the 30's (and there were many), we'd have had Hitler and Tojo as the world bosses. Nice.

Lazs, Whom have you condemned?  Or which anti-american anti-semite have you condemned?

Yes, while it was a massacre, the reaction by Israel was a far cry from anything the militant Islams have done. [/B]


Oh I know - but the initial question seemed to be whether or not there had been Israeli terrorism. I know it isn't state sponsored or common, but it has happened.
