Well that says it all.
Says all of what? I can think of several posibilites.
Tim, I wrote that nearly two months ago. I can barely remember the intent behind what I wrote yesterday, let alone 2 months ago. Sorry.
What large scale terrorism was the Iraeli government or some Israeli organization with wide spread support commiting in the 60s or early 70s? If you also count occational small scale terrorism from disconnected individuals that Zionist/Jewish/Israeli terrorism still hasn't stopped, you'll always have crazy or evil individuals, but I don't think that terrorism at this level is all that relevant to our discussion.
Here are a few links. Apparently, Israeli terrorism continues up til today.........esp. in the West Bank:

They can refarin from terrorism. More terrorism doesn't move them closer to having an independent state.
The blacks rioted because they could. The Arabs can not riot and still get away with it. The Israeli reprisals would be significant.
So if riots by American blacks in the US where put down harshly then the blacks would be justified in using terrorism?
I don't condone terrorism but if blacks are put down and their freedoms denied, it would not surprise me if they resorted to terrorism. I don't understand why it surprises you. After all, that's what happened with the American colonists.
Were the American colonists justified in resorting to terrorism?
The Japanese army in WWII was more then 5% of the population but it was still a minority, should we have refrained from any attacks that could have killed Japanese civilians.
The two situations are not analogous at all. We were not withholding the freedom and independence of Japan nor did we attack first.
Not a totally unreasonable demand but not one that justifies the continuing violence. In fact they are more likely to get reparations if the violence stops.
No they are not.........the Israelis are very much against reparations.
I didn't say they where very likely to get reperations (though maybe they could get some compensation that wouldn't be enough to be full reperations for their claims) just that they would be more likely to get such reperations if the violence stops. If the violence doesn't stop the chance is about 0%. If it does the chance is at least in the single digits.
Why should the Jews, dispossessed by the Germans, and the eastern Europeans, dispossessed by the Russians, get reparations, and not the Palestinians?
