You and Ted, and most liberals condemn violence, yet you refuse to say that violence by a group you favor is bad. Why???????? How can you possibly support a cause which violates one of liberalism's basic principles. How hypoocritical can you be? You say you are against violence, yet you favor a group who routinely uses violence. And not just the Palestinians, all groups you favor get a free pass from you to use violence to attack America, witness your answer to my question about the destruction of the twin towers, Bali and the French tanker. OSB main product is terrorism, and yet you defend Al Quaeda because OSB is an Arab, and you are for Arabs and against Israel. So therefore anything Israel, and by connection America, is for,(aid to all countries including Israel) is bad. Al Quaeda, Palestinians;(now matter how disgusting their methods) is good. It seems impossible for you liberals to separate a cause from its methods. Sometimes causes can be hurt by the methods, and you liberals are hurting the Arab cause (not to mention the Arab people themselves) by justifying violence in the name of a cause. There is something irritating about the way you distort what I say into what you would like my views to be to satisfy your political opinions and interpretations. I condemn violence on both sides in the strongest terms. I loathe OSB and the terror groups in Palestine who carry out attacks. But to respond in kind against a people is to perpetuate this reciprocal killing and give it justification. What is your idea of a solution? Spell out specifically how YOU would solve the problem in Palestine? Al
