Israel refuses peace negotiations

whoever thought that the palestinians would forget "in a generationation or two" what had happened to them in 1948, had a screw loose.

And building walls that divide Palestinian villagers from their fields! :( (http://www.auphr.org/thewall/)

Also dividing school classrooms from their playing fields!!!

That's a really good way to get them onside.

you do know that fundamentalism originally applies to fundamentalist Christians. they believe that a big war has to happen before the Saviour returns, guess where they expect the Saviour to re-appear :?:

only a very small amount of Muslims are fundamentalist terrorist fanatics, and I know that the Jews got on very well with the Muslims.

in the long term the wall wont work in demoralising the palestinians, just make them more determined.

Exactly my point, why should the Palestinians be expected to forget that they lost a country, after all we are constantly being reminded not to forget the holocaust and what happened to the Jews, as if they were the only ones affected by atrocious acts in past history.

Rani, what were taught about the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946 by members of Irgun? Were they not the members of Irgun by definition 'Fundamental Terrorists?".

The bombing of Beirut's Al - Dahia quater was conducted only after leaflets were dropped telling people the raid is going to commence. Like it or not this was Hizbollah's HQ (of course they built it in the city center so you'd have to think twice before attacking.).

The bombing of the King David Hotel was indeed a terrorist act. With one differance. Had you read it through you would have seen that the Brits got a warning before the bomb went off. While I don't justify this by any means, everybody could have been saved had they listened.
I haven't heard any warning like this by Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

What about the massacre at Deir Yassin where over 100 Palestinian men, women and children were murdered by the Irgun and the Stern Gang.

Were they given leaflets and told to leave otherwise they would be killed??

So if the perpetrators of the Oklahoma City bombing had told people to leave the building that morning, this would have made their act of bombing the building justifiable?

Because if they announce such warning foolishly before the bomb went off, Israel soldier would shot them out prior to the bomb prepared :o

Rami. Just because you tell someone you're going to do something doesn't make it right. If I said I was going to burn your house to the ground tonight would that make it ok? :rolleyes: Israeli's just somehow think they're above the rest and that's why you have to live with the threat of terrorism all the time.
