When you are receiving $6+ billion in annual aid and have a military equipped with 1st class fighter jets, tanks, helicoptors, nuclear weapons, etc., you are less likely to have to resort to suicide bombers. But, that's not say Israel hasn't distinguished itself in the field of terrorism. The first hijacking of an airliner was committed by Zionists (a Syrian airliner in 1954). Assassination of a UN ambassador in 1948 (I believe Israel broke new ground there, but I'm not sure). Message 16404648 palestine-info.com And the beat goes on . . . Tom

Moshe Sharett (one of Israel's founding fathers) offers these mea culpa's in his diary: "I condemned the Kibya affair that exposed us in front of the whole world as a gang of blood-suckers, capable of mass massacres regardless, it seems, of whether Weir actions may lead to war." (October 1953) "I meditated on the substance and destiny of His People, who is capable of such honest aspiration for beauty and nobility, and at the same time cultivates among its best youth youngsters capable of calculated, coldblooded murder, by knifing the bodies of defenseless Beduin.

How many Israelis have committed random acts of violence against the non-combatant, the unsuspecting and the unarmed? Apparently, it is Israeli policy to fire surface-to-air missiles at civilian airliners: <<< For example who, besides the Libyans themselves, remembers that the first victims in the brutal and seemingly endless tit-for-tat acts of retaliation involving Libya and, later, the U.S. were the 111 passengers and crewmembers killed in the crash of a Libyan commercial airliner downed on Feb. 23, 1973 by Israeli guns as it descended, slightly off course during a dust storm, over Israeli-occupied Egyptian Sinai for a routine landing at Cairo International Airport? The Israelis called it a case of mistaken identity. It is not clear whether U.S. journalists ever asked why the Israeli soldiers along the Suez Canal were firing ground-to-air missiles at a civilian airliner at all, regardless of its identity. >>> washington-report.org Tom
