  A Jew is a follower of the Jewish faith (Judaism). In other words, the religion is called Judaism & the ppl who practise it are called Jews. Just like the religion is called Buddhism, Christianity or Islam, and the ppl who practise it are called Buddhists, Christians or Muslims respectively.

  I condemn the terrorist acts by the extremist but the Palestinians do have their grievences which were not addressed.
  

  The Palestinians, grievenvces are not addressed, why ??? Because the problem is they make the mistake of taking to terrorist acts which did more harm for them than good, as it let the media make them to be supporter of terrorist.
  
  Maybe they stop the damn terrorist clown acts, and the media will have nothing to report and will soon focus back on the palestinians grievenvces, not learning how to make use good of the media was their mistake......

  i believe there is elements in the Palestinian people that opposes the suicide bobmbing method. Not that i encourages nor agree to suicide bombers you must think that what drives this people to do this... clerics or the sight of their houses being torn down by IDF bulldozers, or the fact they are living in refugees camps for a past few decades. The Jewish people also started out with terrorism.. the Hagnanah is one example. The group which bomb the King David hotel to force Brits to leave Israel decades ago. You must think the cause before you comdemn the whole Palestinain ppl of violence

  First of all I would like to say that I do not support terrorist acts of any kind for whatever reason.
  
  Even if the media were to stop reporting such acts, I don't think such terrorist acts will stop.
  
  The Palestinians had their land taken away from them and sent to refugees camp. Millions of the youths grow up in such camps. The bleak and hopeless future they face make them easy recruit for extremist groups like Hamas. Military reprisal by the IDF will only continue to swell their ranks and strenghten their resolve.
  
  If a fraction of the money spent by the US on the Iraqi war has been spent on the West Bank on the Palestinians, it would have won the hearts of many muslims. The terrorist war cannot be won by force alone.

  I strongly believe the invasion of Iraq is not to suppress terrorism nor to defuse WMD. If anyone noticed, when US troops first landed in Iraq, looting was all over Iraq but troops were sent to guard the oilfields ...
  
  Myself, having dealt with Israelis, Jews or not, they are real bullies and the suicide bombings are justified
