I would like to suggest that you find a candidate other than Arafat for beatification

That is hyperbole, Laz.

I don't even like the the guy.

I think the word "terrorist" fits much better.

One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter, of course.

To my knowledge, these occurred as part of military operations

Aah, I see - it's OK if a military kills innocent people, but it is not OK for more loosely organized para-military organizations to kill innocent people.

Needless to say, I don't agree. Killing civilians indiscriminately is wrong, whether it be by Israeli army or by groups fighting it that we call terrorists.

You can call one side terrorists all you want, but the fact remains that the other side has killed much more innocent civilians.

>>>Do you agree with the statement that "Arafat has done as much evil in the world as Hitler did", or are you just taking its side just because you love to argue with me? :-)<<<
Well, you do make far more sense than most of your compatriots. :-)


Was that you managing a compliment? :-)

Even so, where is the answer to my question?
