911....dunno who is the culprit....might be a propagandaOriginally posted by banzie:Why didn't you post the picture of them shooting rockets at the Isreali buildings where clivilian are inside? Why only focus on the retaliation of the Isreali? If Singapore where to suffer this we will send our troops. USA suffered the same during 911 and they overturn an entire monarchy in fact 2 why everyone just complain about the Isreali alone? There are always a reason and a cause.
yeah im not siding the arab leaders..in fact they r very farked up...from saudi to iraq to egypt...they r bunch of hypocrites...but at the same time...its very irritating to see the israelis getting all the backings when they r worst off then terrorists...they can bomb ppl..ppl cant bomb them? and the palestinians use rocks..they use bombs...Originally posted by the Bear:btw, there was once Barak gave EVERYTHING Arafat demanded except total control of Jerusalem back to the Palestinians...
Jerusalem was to be jointly governed...
guess what Arafat did?
he walked out of the talks... went back to his "people" and told them a pack of lies and started the Intifadah..
that's documented.. even by their own PLO...
politically, Palestinians don't exist.. they are a mishmash of all the different riff-raff which the arab states didn't want... they are a political tool of the arabs.. it was stated by PLO in 1976 that Palestine never existed, and if they succeed with the destruction of Israel, they would immediately merge with Jordan..
also, Arafat once tried to murder King Hussein of Jordan... the Jordanians responded by slaughtering about 10,000 Palestinians who were in Jordan and driving out the rest..
you have to look at the corruption that has caused the problems of the Palestinians... the majority of all this misery is caused by themselves.. or Arafat.. Arafat had a vested interest in keeping everyone fighting.. he had the monopoly of ALL trade in "his land" and was taking a percentage of everything.. so when "his people" suffered, he was skimming off everything and letting his own family live a life of luxury in the French Riviera...
to compound it all, there is animosity, there are political games in the region.. the arabs learnt early that nothing unites more than a common enemy.. and conveniently, it's Israel..
there are a million reasons.. and you will see that everyone of them is mired in intrigue and hypocrisy... the hallmarks of politics..
alas.. those who suffer are the ordinary citizenry
I guess that makes it ok to strap bombs to yourself and kill civillians. Sorry I misunderstood you.Originally posted by valentinoo:suicide bombing is def wrong..but why do they do it in the first place? they must be feeling very frustrated...if ur land is occupied, and no one seems to care, in fact the israelis get all the supports, what wud u do? of coz ppl wud be pissed...no one wanna tackle the root of the problems..putting blind eye to it...
No culprit. Its ok for terrorists to bomb civillians because they are so poor and oppressed. Its not ok for USA to respond to the bombings. After all, USA should understand that such acts of terror, senseless killing of civillians who have nothing to do with politics and war, are not only a natural and justified course of action, but also encouraged.Originally posted by valentinoo:911....dunno who is the culprit....might be a propaganda![]()
Invasion of another country is surmount to an act of war. I do not agree or condone such acts of violence by Israel and I agree that it is legalised terrorism.Originally posted by dragg:israel do not have the right to just whack lebanon because they want to. the civilians have nothing to do with it.
their behaviour is equivalent to legalised terrorism.
This honour is not bestowed upon Israel only. Our Mr World Policeman is guilty of that too!... Was the invasion of Iraq UN sanctioned? No! US juz go ahead giving some excuses.... they are big in fact I tink let's scrap UN and replace it with U.S UNOriginally posted by SilverPal:Invasion of another country is surmount to an act of war.

I think perhaps Israel is being a bit hard handed, but imagine, they depend on their army for survival, their nation is surrounded by enemies. Their real estate isn't exactly what we'd call a prime location.Originally posted by SilverPal:Invasion of another country is surmount to an act of war.

But saying that, I do not agree with shooting rockets into other country's civillian areas. I do not condone kidnappings and hiding amongst civillians when the enemy comes for you. You have to guts to fire rockets into other peoples' market, you should have to guts to fight with their soldiers when the come. Not hide behind pregnant women and little children.
I agree with you, USA has been acting like a playground bully for a really long time, what with their invasion of Iraq and the such. They damn attitude.Originally posted by sohguanh:This honour is not bestowed upon Israel only. Our Mr World Policeman is guilty of that too!... Was the invasion of Iraq UN sanctioned? No!

Read news US troops do not respond to instruction given by UN commanders. They only obey US commanders. Then I tink it is odd.... wat power does UN serves then?
Maybe we should have a UN vs US debate huh?![]()
They have tried a diplomatic solution (although they did not have the patience to see it through). They pressured the Hamas government to negotiate for their release but felt it was taking too long and hence went on the warpath and sent in their army.Originally posted by PeRsEuS:I think perhaps Israel is being a bit hard handed, but imagine, they depend on their army for survival, their nation is surrounded by enemies.

Have it occurred to you that the US civilians indirectly voted their current party in and this party is in favor of going to war every now and then? If the party is not so warring in nature, the civilians won't get hit by others as their party will practise a non-violence policy. Whoever say US muz step into every single conflict in this world? They view themselves as world policeman?Originally posted by SilverPal:I agree with you, USA has been acting like a playground bully for a really long time, what with their invasion of Iraq and the such.

Having said that, retaliation against USA CIVILLIANS is also wrong. I do not support terrorism.
