Andreas re: My point was that terrorist attacks can be abused for propaganda purposes. if it is true it is not propaganda and I understood what you meant. If you think you can switch nazi's for Jews you better be ready to defend that point. If there is a parallel can be drawn between 30's and now that would be between Hitler and arafat re: IMO the label "terrorist" is often only a matter of perspective. take someone who lost close relative in September 11 attack and explain to him that was not a terrorist act from your perspective. Care to try that? re: But the reality is different. what exactly do you know about reality that seems to escape majority of Israeli citizens? -Albert

Andreas, <My point was that terrorist attacks can be abused for propaganda purposes. ... IMO the label "terrorist" is often only a matter of perspective.> Give me a break. This is exactly the kind of nonsense that paralyzes the free world from taking a strong stance against terrorism. I guarantee you that the terrorists aren't burdening themselves with "alternative perspectives." Evil's greatest trick is to convince the world that it does not exist. Tenchusatsu

>Concerning the mid east: The Palestinian terrorist attacks are very real. And so is the Israeli invasion of autonomous Palestinian cities. Those Palestinian cities are autonomous only because the PA agreed to prevent terror from coming from those cities. The PA has not only not tried to stop the terror, but they've actually been supporting it. >IMO the label "terrorist" is often only a matter of perspective. It's easy to resort to black and white or good and evil thinking. But the reality is different. That's what the Arabs say, and they're quite wrong. I still have not heard one Muslim Arab go on TV and unequivocally condemn suicide bombings. Both Hannity & Colmes and Alan Keyes have been trying for days to get Arab leaders to do that on their show and they dodge the question every time. If I recall correctly, Bill O'Reilly tried it the other day with James Zogby and couldn't get him to do it. -Z
