"which completely undermines your thesis" The clip was not then and is not now my "thesis". It is what I had read, and was posted out there for any or all to clarify. I believe I was specifically responding to Emile, who definately has an "ant-Israeli" bias (and also failed to respond). "Let me add that your original statement reeks of anti-Arab bias" I harbor no prejudices against any individuals based on their races. Including Arabs. In this case however I do have an anti-Arab view overall because from what I can tell they are mostly (not completely) at fault. Israel is a legitimate free country that allows thier people to prosper and live freely. The Arab nations do not even appear close to Israel in this regard and they seem to support the idea of suicide bombers being a good option for the Palestinins. If they are as "right" as you seem to feel they are, why won't they stop the suicide bombings to see if Israel will react in a positive way? This is not a case of two morally equal positions, and the article you posted, while interesting, did not convince me that it is. "as you are aching to drop the moral hammer on these dirty, wretched, useless pests" This is where you are wrong. I do feel the moral hammer should be dropped on them, but I sorely wish it was not necesary. Civilized society in the 21st century cannot have political issues settled with terrorism. Simple as that. When their leaders realize that, and control the radical element at least to where they are not killing innocents the world will be a better place. "If that is true, it will be hard for me to have any sympathy for them" - srexley This statement sort of proves that this was not exactly a "thesis" of mine, doesn't it? If they left voluntarily to let others destroy Israel (which I had read) I would have no sympathy. If they were driven out by war (which I am sure some were) I would definately have sympathy. If you care to answer the questions I posted, I am still interested. I am also interested in legitmate resources that can shed more light on the situation. Lastly, speaking of agendas, how are you just now responding to a post I made last April? Creepy but true.
