I was not refering to the average Palestinian when I said I see many of them as "just animals", I was refering to those who blame Israel for the crimes of Arafat, I was refering to those who throw the future in the trash can and strap explosives to themselves and murder inocent human beings. I was refering to those who stand idly by as a terrorist plans his act of genocide in the name of Allah. I was refering to the animals in Palestine which number far more than 1% of the population.

How can you expect the Palestinians to create a nation if they cannot hold their leaders to account for these crimes, cannot vote, and do nothing to stop the violence? Do nothing and you get zero results.
Congratulations, you have proved yourself to be very knowledgable of Palestenian psychology. I invite you to create a website listing a minimum of 70,000 animals which you have described in this very well written and unbiased arguement.

Maybe you should get a press pass to the Palestenian cities West Bank, so you would see them face to face and then you can justly evaluate your opinion, instead of watching whatever the media feeds you. People should be more open minded and look at the views from 2 different prespectives. I can bring out thousands of reasons of being pro-Israeli or pro-Palestenian, but completely ignoring another point of view is called (you guessed it) ignorance.

I am sure everyone of us here knows that many does not mean most, but I appreciate your time and effort in clearing out any doubts.

Hey Anhoni,

Are you giving out free passes to Palestine? A return air ticket as a bonus?

Sure I would love to go. I am sure Confed too wouldn't mind and possibly many others.

We want the truth as many others would. Haven't seen action for a long time. I am sure it would be better than the Bufferin ad which I beleive claims that it activates 'tired blood' (whatever that means)!

Hey Ray, if you're going, I'll go. When do we pick up our free stuff? I hope he can expedite the required visas too.

lol, well that wasn't really my point. My point is the only people who know the real reality are the people living in that area. Reporters can be biased, both arab and non-arab reporters. So either watch both sides of the arguement, or don't act as if you know everything thats going on there and accuse one side, calling them animals.

Oh btw, its a very long and tiring process to get into Palestine (Gaza and Westbank for those who don't recognise it) even if you are a Palestenian.

If terrorism means resisting an occupation, by killing IDF soldiers and NOT civilians, then yes there is large support for that.

If terrorism means killing innocent people then no there isn't wide support for that. And both Palestenian groups AND the IDF is guilty of it.

So then I could say many support it... This isn't the insult you percieve, nobody has said all, just many. I consider anyone who supports terrorism less than an animal, regardless of their location.

Anony, there is wide support for it.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/2072851.stm

Quote:
The June 2002 poll by the Jerusalem Media and Communications Centre showed that a large majority - nearly seven out of 10 people - supported the suicide operations, about 60% of those expressing their "strong" support.
And this is an IMPROVEMENT...

Quote:
However, as Israel has conducted its massive military operations in the West Bank over the past few months, support for suicide operations has weakened, from a high of 74% in December 2001 to the current 68%.

The fall is more marked in the West Bank - which has born the brunt of the crackdown - where the figure is 66%.
