The article in your post said...." “Aren’t the Israelis and the Palestinians both terrorising each other?” says Turner, who is vice-chairman of AOL Time Warner, which owns CNN, in an exclusive interview with the Guardian. “The Palestinians are fighting with human suicide bombers, that’s all they have. The Israelis ... they’ve got one of the most powerful military machines in the world. The Palestinians have nothing. So who are the terrorists?"...... Dumb thing for turner to say. Just change the names a bit in above statement......" “The muslim terrorist are fighting with human suicide bombers, that’s all they have. The Americans ... they’ve got one of the most powerful military machines in the world. The muslim terrorists have nothing. So who are the terrorists?"...... Remember the WTC? Because a country may have a powerful military and use it to portect their citizens does not make them terrorist. Think about this...If the countries being attacked by muslim terrorists did not have a powerful military what would be the outcome? Muslim terrorists spread their brand of religion through force and terror and it has been this way for hundreds of years. Only Those with a powerful military can and must put a stop to their insanity. And IMO the only reason that the arabs have this weapon is that they were able to teach young arabs from birth that it is their purpose in life to kill themselves and innocent people in the name of allah and that they would reap great rewards for this stupidity. These young people actually believe they are going to paradise. They actually believe that their merciful God will reward murder. Think about that amein, how can they possibly believe that crap? Oh yes, and I think teddy was also married to hanoi jane. Right?

Yesterday's bomber in Jerusalem (one suicide, 19 homicides, many of them students on a bus) left a note which reportedly said: "How beautiful it is to kill and to be killed" (reported on page one of today's Wall Street Journal, and probably elsewhere too). Amein, is the Palestinians' plight a justification to do this sort of thing? Should the Israelis simply lie there and take it? P.S. Reports of another bombing are coming over the wires.

Turner withdraws criticism of Israel as "terrorist" Wednesday June 19, 8:24 AM CNN founder Ted Turner, under pressure from Jewish groups and supporters, withdrew his earlier assessment that Israel and Palestinians were both "involved in terrorism." "I believe the Israeli government has used excessive force to defend itself, but that is not the same as intentionally targeting and killing civilians with suicide bombers," Turner said in a statement issued by CNN. He serves as vice chairman of CNN's parent company, AOL Time Warner. Earlier, London's The Guardian newspaper published the April 16 interview in which Turner made the comments, along with a warning of possible repercussions for CNN. "His remarks are obscene and over-the-line," said director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, Marvin Hier. In an open letter to the media mogul, the Anti-Defamation League said it was "tragically ironic" that Turner's statements came the same day a suicide bomber killed 19 Israelis, "many of them young students on their way to school," in southern Jerusalem. CNN has frequently been accused of bias by Israelis, although some Palestinians have also decried it as the "Zionist News Network." CNN earlier issued a statement saying Turner spoke for himself during the interview. "Aren't the Israelis and the Palestinians both terrorizing each other?" Turner, 63, was quoted as saying. Turner also drew fire from Republican US lawmaker Tom DeLay, a senior member of the House of Representatives. "Turner's thoughts on the Middle East are the rant of a man with a defective moral compass," DeLay said. sg.news.yahoo.com

The blood of the innocents. Posted: June 19, 2002 1:00 a.m. Eastern " The president's proposal will apparently be based on the widely held assumption that what the Palestinians lack, and urgently need, is a state to call their own. If they get their own country, so the popular wisdom goes, they will settle down and stop blowing-up Israeli buses, restaurants, Passover meals, etc. All Israel has to do is withdraw from the territory it captured from Jordan and Egypt in 1967, and all will be well. This was exactly the thinking that formed the bedrock of the shattered Oslo process. Indeed in fulfillment of that process, Israel years ago turned over nearly 40 percent of Judea and Samaria to Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority – an area encompassing over 90 percent of the Palestinians living in those disputed zones. More than 80 percent of the Gaza Strip was also delivered to Arafat's full and direct control in 1994. In effect, the Palestinian leader has had a state – albeit without all of the trappings of statehood – since the mid-1990s. And what did the PLO chairman do with his quasi Palestinian state-let? He allowed it to become a terrorist haven of horrific proportions. His various "intelligence" agencies and 35,000 or so paramilitary police force did precious little to quash Hamas militants and others violently opposed to the Oslo accords. What has changed in recent months to make George Bush think that a Silly-Puttied Oslo rehash will lead to a different result now? Full story>>> worldnetdaily.com
