If you do body count over the last year, or go back even further, you will see that a larger number of "innocent" Palestinians have died as a result of Israeli military actions compared to the number of Israelis killed by nail bombers.
Only the Israelis do it with weapons provided by my country. The Palestinians are struggling against their Zionist opressor. They fight back with the tools they have. For the most part its children with rocks vrs apcs and soldiers with m16s.
When you hear on the news "Israel responded today by shelling XXX town killing 12 Palestinians" who do you think they killed? The terrorist standing on top of a roof with a bullzi on his head?
On NBC's today they interviewed 2 journalists that were targeted by Israeli soldiers. One was shot in the neck. To hear them (the journalist) tell it they were clearly indentified as journalist. Also an Italian priest was reported killed in Bethlehem. I dont think it was confirmed. I left for work soon after that report and didn't get home until late.
The Jewish, Christian and Islamic god are the same God. For example IIRC the muslims belive in the story of adam and eve. They also recognize Christ as "prophet", etc. I find silly all these religious wars between the three while they all belive and worship the same god...
I wouldn't say that. They all trace their religious beliefs bac to the Torah (or abraham) but they take clearly different paths. The Koran, the New testament and the Talmud (it is this book(s) of Jewish laws that guides Israeli religious teaching) all reflect a complete different world and theological view.
At Khaibar, where a lot of Jews lived, Mohammad was once offered a meal by a Jewish woman. However, the woman's plot was to poison the meal so that Mohammad may die. The Jews thought that if Mohammad was true, then he wouldn't eat it, and if he was false, he would eat it.
Well he ate it and died. The Jews also Crucfied Christ. So if your a religious nut bag (which I am not) its not hard to see why their hatred for each other goes way back.
The question is do you believe a Israeli life is more important the a Palestinian? And do they Palestinians have an obligation to there children to secure there future free of opression?
I certainly wouldn't support the US or the UN going to war to secure Palestine anything. But I think it would be correct to either support the Palestinians financially and militarily or better yet wirhdraw our support for Israel.
The world screwed up after world war 2 and it is too late now to remove the entrenched Jews. However let them bare the financial cost.
