I wonder if this is a change in tactics for Israel?
The fact that the families of suicide bombers are getting benefits for the service the suicide bomber performed has not escaped the the attention of Israel. I guess they feel that the family of the suicide bomber is profiting from the death of Israelis, so lets get them too. |

If you were a suicide bomber and you knew in advance that if you blew yourself up in public that your whole family would be killed would you follow throught with your suicidal plan? |

You're right- there are no clean fights.
That's why the Palistinians are using suicide bombings. Vicious cycle. The Palistinians have known for a while that they can't fight a clean war against a disproportionately well equipped enemy. I can only hope the Palistinians win in the long run. (If only to piss off every knee-jerk Palistine hater on the board) |

Quoted: Israeli had a Homas terrorist leader pegged to be at a certain place at a certain time , so they get a F-16 jet to drop a one ton bomb on his house killing him, and his kids and a few others but they got him. Yup, 15 dead and 100 wounded all to get one guy. And Israel has the moral high ground how, exactly? Sorry, this is just more proof that Israel is no better (nor any worse) than the palestinians. A plague on both their houses. |

If suicide bombers were coming into America and blowing up Americans every other day we would change our tune in one second. The PLO is anti American and chants death to America , do you see any Israelis doing this , I think it is time to get off of the fence and chose sides. 100 wounded , it's the bad guys fault, they deserve what they get.

No, there is a huge difference between Israel and Palestine. They are not moral equivalents.
Look, this guy is a director of terrorism. He is planning to murder other people. He has a family, and keeps them close to him at all times, even though the Israelis are known for assasinating their enemies by air attack, which is pretty indiscriminate, even if laser guided. The only one to blame for these childrens' deaths is their father, for keeping them in close proximity to him during his campaign to kill Israelis. If he had any sense, he would send them to a family member who isn't involved with terror activities. The only moral high ground the Arabs can claim is when tragedies like this happen. However, they count on them for world sympathy and condemnation of Israel, which is ultimately more important to them than the health and safety of their children. Otherwise, why would they indoctrinate them to become suicide bombers? They are not morally equivalent to Isreal. They are far below, more callous. |

They've all told me that the street demonstrations against the US are a result of US aid to Israel, and that should the US stop aid, most hardliners would lose support. They still won't like American intrusion on their lives, but it'll be less of a problem when they don't see a symbol of American imperialism sitting right on what they perceive to be their land. 2) Of course the Israelis don't chant "Down with the USA". They're too busy finding new ways to get US funding so they can fill their coffers. If you look at it closely, Israel is USELESS to the US's intrests. They control no natural resources, no trade routes; their tech industry is supported in majority by US funding; and they're constantly trying to sell OUR tech to the biggest threat in our future, China. |

Put 62 grains of copper jacketed lead through the son of a bitch's forehead, but DON'T kill and wound dozens in the attempt. He has a family, and keeps them close to him at all times, even though the Israelis are known for assasinating their enemies by air attack, which is pretty indiscriminate, even if laser guided.

But hey, those sand niggers are ALL terrorists in one way or another, right? Hell, the way [b]I[/b] hear it, every single kid over there is being trained to be a suicide bomber, so that's nine more potential bombings stopped before the can occur--score one for the home team! The only moral high ground the Arabs can claim is when tragedies like this happen. Like most people who take the Israeli side, you seem to think anyone who doesn't think they aren't the forces of goodness and light must think their foes are the good guys. Let me reiterate: Neither one of them has any sort of moral high ground--BOTH groups are equally repugnant. |

How are Israeli snipers and infantry supposed to get into Palestinian Gaza without being seen? Not to mention, Israeli snipers are not exactly great.
But Isreaeli counter terror intelligence is, and when they know a chief of terror is in a certain place at a certain time, they will want to get him. And they'll use the weapon that will give the highest probability of a success. The neighbors? I am sorry, it is a war. In war, innocent people die. They were not the target. The object of the mission was to kill the terrorist planner, not strike fear into the hearts of Palestinian civilians and to kill them for the sake of being Palestinians. The same cannot be said of the objectives of this terror chief. Again, I insist: The Israelis are not repugnant. They want peace. The Arabs are constantly instigating this conflict and perpetuating the violence. If the Arabs wanted peace, there would be peace tomorrow. But they dont. |

Some people are not able to see things clearly.
They can't make a moral judgement, because they are blinded by something... If you wish for the Palestinians to be victorious, remember this: When you show up at the victory party, you'll be seated next to Osama, Saddam, the Mullahs of Iran, the Islamic radicals of Pakistan, and all of Al Qaeda. When they then raise their glasses to toast, "Now it's America's turn to die".... ....will you raise your glass, too? |

Now before we even go there, I am Polish, but if you asked me what I am, I would say I am a American, so I am not against any Arab Americans as long as they realize that they are American people, If Poland rose up and said screw America I would say , screw them, because I am a American , and proud of it, I would be ashamed if I was Palestinian American , of what they were doing , killing innocent civilians by suicide bombers, that is the biggest form of cowardice I can imagine, the dumb shits should have learned from the Kamikazes during World War two this is not a solution, it just resolves a nation to persevere.

ERIC , the idiots just don't get it, do they ? The Isralies live in terror every day . How would these LIBERALS that have found this website feel if 11, September happened once a week here in the USA ? Do you think these punks that never picked up ANYTHING let alone an AR or M16 to defend this Nation of ours understand what is really going on in the world ? HELL NO ! Have any of them had relatives suffer under the Nazis or the Communists ? HELL NO ! Because if they did they would KNOW all about opression and terror .I have neighbors who suffered under the Nazis and relatives who FOUGHT the Commies as Freedom Fighters in Hungary .They need to KNOW what it's like to fight 105 Russian tank divisions with a rifle & a wine bottle full of gasoline !

Did it occur to anybody here who's criticizing Israel for using "excessive force" that we just killed thousands (quite frankly I believe probably tens of thousands) of "civilians" in Afghanistan during our ATTEMPT to kill a few hundred hard-core terrorists.
Remember, as Bush, etc. said in the beginning, we weren't going to Afghanistan to get rid of the Taliban (we did, oops!), or to harm the "peace loving people of Afghanistan" (I guess the villages we carpet bombed off the map were 100% non-peace loving. And besides, all those dirt farmers who have no idea where the place called "New York" is pose a huge terrorist threat to us!). But surprise, we did these things. Now before the ignoramuses jump on my back, I'm glad we did. We did what we had to do. Unfortunately we did it in an extremely heavy-handed way. The alternative would have been for many more of our soldiers to die going after Al Qaeda. Americans *have* to accept that this use of force is necessary. Because, for heaven's sake, if what Israel is doing/has done/will do to the various Arabic citizens of several countries who call themselves "Palestinians" is a "war crime" or "barbaric" or "overkill," then the amount of collateral damage WE have caused in recent conflicts is positively Hitlerian in comparison. |

KcOhak, because when you have been shot at by some guy who has a wife and kids at home, and you got to kill him before he kills you, you learn real fast, war is no good, but good must be the final outcome. To kill a man is not a good thing, and anyone who has done it knows this , because at night when he goes to bed and thinks about this, he realizes, to be right is what it is all about. Your just a young snot trolling at this point I think. When the American flag goes by at a parade I think about all those who have gone to the grave to give you the right to your goofball opinions. Maybe you should think about them. Anyway , back to the point, this is the situation Israel is in now.

That we "compromise"? Face why you REALLY want the Palestinians to win. Be honest with yourself. It will help you think more clearly. We support Israel, because thet're the good guys. That you can't see that is a shame. Were I to ask you WHO the good guys were in the conflict.... YOU wouldn't say the Palestinians. No doubt you'd say something about how they're both the same, and that you hope they kill eachother. Moral relativism at its finest. |

Quoted: KcOhak, because when you have been shot at by some guy who has a wife and kids at home, and you got to kill him before he kills you, you learn real fast, war is no good, but good must be the final outcome. Your reply is appreciated, but this concept does not require combat experience. Everyone accepts this is the truth, but everyone debates what is the "good". To kill a man is not a good thing, and anyone who has done it knows this , because at night when he goes to bed and thinks about this, he realizes, to be right is what it is all about. Certainly, but your "right" is not the same as another's. And when your idea conflicts with another's in a serious, serious way, the only resolutions are separation or destruction. Hence my support of separate states. Nobody's gonna carpet bomb anyone else, so you might as well minimise your conflicts, because the other side's not gonna disappear, period. Your just a young snot trolling at this point I think. Can't argue with that. When the American flag goes by at a parade I think about all those who have gone to the grave to give you the right to your goofball opinions. They gave their lives for EVERYBODY's right to think and say as they please. I can't go into combat, die, and have it declared that my death was for one group. Everybody is entitled to his or her own opinion; the most you can do is try to change it. In another world, if our views were switched, I could argue that your point is stupid, and have the exact merit in my arguement; specifically, none. I don't appreciate you calling my opinions "goofball". I think they have merit, and being a logical person, you ought to consider them seriously, as I have considered yours. |

Quoted: Zak - kc0hak - folks like yourselves are why America's headed down the shitter. Christ almighty, libs are dumb as dirt. "...Arabs..... told me that the street demonstrations against the US are a result of US aid to Israel, and that should the US stop aid, most hardliners would lose support. They still won't like American intrusion on their lives, but it'll be less of a problem when they don't see a symbol of American imperialism sitting right on what they perceive to be their land." American Imperialism? HAHAHA!!!!! What - USVI? - Puerto Rico? Yeah - that US Imperialism IRON FIST! HA! Oh - and you think that Arabs should dictate US policy? "Do what we want, US, and we won't kill you any more". Laughable. This is the best nation on earth - period. Boat people don't risk their lives to get to any Arab shitholes. Alas! My long lost brother has emerged from the darkened heap! In other words...Ditto, man! |

Quoted: Zak - kc0hak - folks like yourselves are why America's headed down the shitter. I'm glad to oblige. Christ almighty, libs are dumb as dirt. I'm not a lib; I just happen not to share the exact same views on all subjects as whatever political group you're affliated with. I would say that my views are for the most part, republican in nature. American Imperialism? HAHAHA!!!!! What - USVI? - Puerto Rico? No, I don't mean it in a blind, flag waving, "we want rights, but don't want to give back", or "Duh [insert group] man bein o-pressin me" way. I mean it in the sense of the definition; extending one's influence to countries exterior to your own through economic or political means. I don't see it this way, but if you're an Arab, it sure looks that way to you. A country far away is trying to change your traditional way of life, and using a local "puppet" to do its bidding. Oh - and you think that Arabs should dictate US policy? "Do what we want, US, and we won't kill you any more". Laughable. No, I mean the opposite. No country should control another's affairs. The arguement posed is more close to "Stop interfering in our matters, and we'll refrain from stopping you ourselves" This is the best nation on earth - period. I'd agree, but not based on an automatic nationalist-oriented neuro programming.(Not directing this towards you). Something could be said for Sealand, though... Free ultra high speed Net access for the duration of your employment; but I digress. Boat people don't risk their lives to get to any Arab shitholes. Course not. |

Quoted: You're right- there are no clean fights. That's why the Palistinians are using suicide bombings. Vicious cycle. The Palistinians have known for a while that they can't fight a clean war against a disproportionately well equipped enemy. I can only hope the Palistinians win in the long run. (If only to piss off every knee-jerk Palistine hater on the board) [-=(_)=-] |

Quoted: Now before we even go there, I am Polish, but if you asked me what I am, I would say I am a American, so I am not against any Arab Americans as long as they realize that they are American people, If Poland rose up and said screw America I would say , screw them, because I am a American Despite the fact that I disagree with just about everything else you've posted in this thread, as a fellow Pole I have to say: Well said, sir. Our country would be a better place if more imigrants behaved like my grandparents (and whatever generation of your family migrated here) and actually adopted this country the way it adopted them. Reminds me of grade school, where our teacher was discussing ethnicity, but instead called it [i]nationality[/i]. A whole class period went by while she insisted my "nationality" was Polish, and I kept correcting her and saying "No, ma'am, I'm an [i]American[/i] with polish ancestors." Would it be presumptuous of me to assume you dislike being called a "Polish-American?" |

Quoted: Zak, you are so far off the mark, you've missed the back stop, a drive by is a senseless kind of thing, being done by gangbangers, or other types of goofballs, this is a country fighting for it's existence. I'm willing to bet cold hard cash that if you ask the gangbangers they'll claim they were fighting for their existence against a hated enemy that MUST be destroyed. The phrase "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" seems to apply in this case... BTW, I've never said (nor meant to imply) that Israel didn't have the right to fight its war any way it wants to--only that its choice of tactics is just as bad as its "morally inferior" enemy, and that there is NO WAY my tax dollars should be arming their troops. Maybe when you graduate you will understand. Excuse me? Just exactly how old do you assume I am? |

Quoted: Quoted: Zak - kc0hak - folks like yourselves are why America's headed down the shitter. I'm glad to oblige. You're [b]glad to oblige[/b] 'America's slide down the shitter'? What in the Hell are you saying that for? You're glad that America is headed downhill? What a seriously flawed piece of work you are! There's nothing, absolutely nothing, that you have said here tonight that is the least bit enlightening in any way. Your discussion is worthless, it is without any depth, it is totally without 'merit', and it is a horrible waste of bandwidth. I'm not a lib; I just happen not to share the exact same views on all subjects as whatever political group you're affliated with. I would say that my views are for the most part, republican in nature. Bullsh|t, not 'republican' with a small 'r', not 'Republican' with a capital 'R', and certainly not 'republican' in any classical sense. You sound even worse than the typical liberal idiot, and I had not thought that was possible. I don't see it this way, but if you're an Arab, it sure looks that way to you. Only if you are a very stupid Arab. One that is totally unaware of the history of the Middle East for, say, the past 3,000 years, or, even the last 54 years. A country far away is trying to change your traditional way of life, and using a local "puppet" to do its bidding. As I say, only a very stupid Arab would hold such a view. Israel was beating the crap outta Arabs long before the United States decided to get involved in their conflict. As a matter of fact, the US maintained an arms embargo against Israel for the first twenty years of its existence. Pretty stupid for an Arab not to know [u]that[/u]! No country should control another's affairs. Get the US out of Afghanistan, eh? Did you feel this way before Sept 11th, or did you just lately receive this epiphany? Pretty convenient, eh?

Quoted: If I knew there was a terrorist on my block, I will take care of him, that would be my duty. I'd like to think I'd do the same. Ths innocent bystander did not know. No comparisons here. Actually, now that you mention it, I find the comparison to be even stronger--people who live in neighborhoods infested by gangbangers KNOW they are there, yet seem to do little about it. By your own logic--since they don't go out and remove the gangbangers--they deserve what they get, right? |

Quoted: Zak - kc0hak - folks like yourselves are why America's headed down the shitter. Normally, I like a more reasoned, intelligent response, but dude, fuck off. America is NOT "going down the shitter" because I don't happen to agree with the policies of Israel. Go buy a fucking clue. |

If you agree that it is Ok to kill a few civilians for the better good, then that puts the actions of Tim Mcveigh in a new light.
He killed a few civilians, but he was shooting for those evil ATF agents..... Just they knew he was gunning for them. |
