Ted re: let me make clear.......terrorism is totally unacceptable to me. of course it is unacceptable to both you and Andreas, yet Andreas feels that terrorism is matter of perception, And you wished that there would be more people thinking like Andreas, explain that? re: Terrorism in the form of the suicide bomber is a relatively new phenomenon....I yes, because Israel became too effective in combating all other form of terrorism. re: However, do you think, if that 1/3 had access to a good job and/or education, they all still would want to blow themselves up? not really but it takes only few. In spite of that Israel does not have a problem with Palestinian state as per recent offers. And Israel does not care if new Palestinian government would be pro or against Israel but what Israel cares about is that that government take steps in preventing terrorism rather than paying for the bombs. re: I don't understand why you make those kinds of accusations against him. I do' kno', maybe him saying that terrorism is a matter of perception has something to do with that.

>Terrorism in the form of the suicide bomber is a relatively new phenomenon....I think the first one was in the late '80s. Actually, the first really publicized one was the blowing up of the Marines base in Beirut in '82- killed almost 300 U.S. soldiers- remember? The terrorism before that included a lot of plane hijackings. >How do you explain the conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians before that time? Uhh... the Arabs manufactured an enmity towards the Jews in the Palestinians? >There will always be fanaticals in any population. However, do you think, if that 1/3 had access to a good job and/or education, they all still would want to blow themselves up? Yes. -Z
