Pepe, for now on, i'll mark irony with tags so you can get it right, you seem to misread my posts a lot. The title of the thread might be convoluted and a bit trollish, but I think that my point comes through across the thread...
The cartoon land stuff was directed at our friend samm, your arguments were more articulated and to the point than his were.
About the killing people is BAD line taken out of the thread and thrown at me as cartoony, if you can find a better idea to start with, please provide it.
I donīt claim to know everything, it is just that out of interest and curiosity for this problem I got to read a lot about it and even mostly using the Israeli side as a source, I have come to think of it in this way.
The fact is that if we shouldn't justify the suicide bombers using the occupation as a pretext, we shouldn't either justify the occupation because of the suicide bombers.
The problem of separating terrorism from justified freedom fighting is in a big part a moral problem, if you step down from the moral high ground, you have already lost. Keeping the moral high ground doesn't assure you get rid of all problems, but it is many times the only thing separating you from the terrorists.
