wgh613, sounds like you got a little hate going yourself as well. Whether or not there was a massacre in Jenin isn't the issue. There are thousands homeless, no water, sewage, etc., and whether or not Israel was "seeking terrorists" the fact that they have made ZERO humanitarian efforts after causing the devastation will forever remain a black eye on their history. I am a moderate and don't favor either side. I do know though that as long as people make posts like yours preaching hatred and pretending any race is subhuman it continues the cycle and people need to be part of the solution not the problem. I find the suicide bombers repulsive. It shocks my conscience. I think though that that is the very point. Just as Menachem Begin himself was doing when continually committing terrorist acts against Briton when they refused to end their occupation even after similar orders from the UN. He became Prime Minister of Israel but was himself on Britain's ten most wanted list as a terrorist for years after he blew up the King James Hotel killing hundreds of civilians and army personnel. us-israel.org Was he a terrorist? You bet he was and proud of it. (He called himself a freedom fighter too.) So much so that Jimmy Carter initially didn't want to meet with him either just as Bush is having trouble doing the same with Arafat. Eventually though Begin became a man of peace and was responsible for the Camp David Accords, peace with Egypt and much more. He won the Nobel peace prize also. What it boils down to is we gotta give up the hate and concentrate on the solution.
