Yitzhak Shamir (who led the assassination of the UN moderator): "Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means of combat."

Robert, I'm a reasonable man. Please quote any part of my previous note to you, and prove why it should be considered anti-arab propaganda. The Palestinian terrorists blow up Jewish children and the Palestinian people celebrate in the streets. Islamic terrorists destroy the WTC in New York and murder thousands of Americans, and some of the world's finest, and the Palestinian people celebrate in the streets. Okay, you refer specifically to terrorists-Palestinian and Islamic terrorists. Then you white wash all Palestinian people in the following sentence. Did all Palestinian people celebrate or only a handful? This is one of the big differences between the two cultures. The rest of the Arabs live happily, and in poverty, under repressive, racist Arab dictatorships. The Arab mission: Destroy Israel and change it into another uncultured, uncivilized, brutal Arab dictatorship. Here again you bait and denegrate all Arabs with generalized statements about their state of mind, conditions and politics such as the "Arab mission". Do you fault Syria or the Palestinians for the rape, looting and destruction of Lebanon? Lebanon used to be a showcase of Middle Eastern culture and education. Unlike the Palestinians, at one time Lebanon had a literacy rate of, something like, 90%. Don't forget an important financial centre too. And who came to Lebanon's defense? Would you fault Israel (ie. all the Israeli's) for preventing a pregnant Palestinian women from getting through a checkpoint to get to a hospital, only to see her new born child die during delivery in the back of a car at the checkpoint? The inflamatory nature of your language has left me with the impression that you hate all Arabs,not just terrorists. I do not wish to assume that you believe all Arabs are terrorists.
