"two wrongs don't make a right"

I agree! You must, however, admit that Israel's state terrorism initiated the terrorism against the Palestinian people. For over fifty years the Zionist Jews directed a cruel and criminal campaign of terrorism and ethnic cleansing against the mostly unarmed Palestinian people. It was only as a reaction to this brutal Jewish behavior that Palestinians began to strike back with their own fanaticism and terrorism.

There is no symmetry here because the Palestinians are the ones being occupied and expelled from the ancestral homeland.

Quick someone tell Colin Powell before he meets with Arafat that Americans overwhelmingly consider him to be a terrorist and an enemy of the United States.
From the Gallop poll:

Little Sympathy for Yasser Arafat

The Israeli government has justified its incursion into Palestinian-controlled areas, using the same rationale expressed by President Bush when the United States took military action in Afghanistan -- that countries which harbor terrorists will be treated as enemies. The poll shows that 77% of Americans feel this policy should apply to Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat, who has been condemned by the Israeli government for harboring terrorists and failing to stem the suicide bombings.

As you may know, U.S. policy says that anyone who harbors terrorists will be treated as an enemy of the United States. Do you think that policy should or should not apply to Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat?

77% Yes, should apply
16% No, should not
7% No opinion
