Ehud is a liar. The IDF views Arabs the same way the SADF viewed black people - vermin that should be wiped out.
Both sides are terrorists. Israel is just more heavily armed and better funded.
Blowing up the houses of alleged suicide bombers is a terror tactic. You are correct there. It isn't all that effective apparently since it hasn't scared their opponents.

I'm sure if Hizbollah had the superior firepower they'd be more than happy to just take their conflict into Israel. Reverse the positions then the Israelis would be fighting from civilian buildings.
It's quite difficult to figure out which side has more terrorists.
No-one comes out of this with the moral high ground. Israel has been murdering Palestinians and generally breaking international law right up until just before they launched what is now known to have been a planned attack on Lebanon. The PLO, Hamas, Hizbollah and whoever else can neither claim to be on the side of right.
The Palestinians should long ago have abandoned violence to take the moral high ground. They would quickly and easily have been able to expose the ruthless ambitions of Israel's leaders.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_MegiddoBattle of Megiddo refers to one of three major battles fought near the ancient site of Megiddo in the Jezreel Valley of northern Israel. Of these, the first is by far the most common allusion:
* Battle of Megiddo (15th century BC) - between Egyptian forces under the pharaoh Thutmose III and a large Canaanite coalition
* Battle of Megiddo (609 BC)
* Battle of Megiddo (1918) - between British / Commonwealth forces and the Ottoman Empire
* Armageddon- Megiddo, in Christian tradition, will be the site of the last battle between good and evil.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrusadesThe Crusades were a series of military campaigns—usually sanctioned by the Papacy—that took place during the 11th through 13th centuries. Originally, they were Roman Catholic Holy Wars to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Muslims, but some were directed against other targets, such as the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars of southern France, the Northern Crusades, and the Fourth Crusade which conquered Constantinople
I think so too...
Ive been to Israel and Arabs are treated like dirt by some Israelis
Firstly you cannot blame religion itself for this problem (to be honest I can understand if some people take offence to that statement) - you can blame those who are fundementalists - those who follow the Bible like an instruction manual etc. I prefere to think of religion as an addition to the way you live your life.there would be no problems if religeon didnt exist
I think israelis can relocate in Aliaska![]()
You must have meant Alaska. Then the Russians would be up in arms because they sold it to the USA and now Bush gives it to the Israeli’s. The Polar Bears would start terrorizing the Canadians as it is the nearest neighbors. Soon the Mexicans would start revolting because the Alaskans have more oil than they. And worse the Middle East would moan because they have no more causes to be terrorists.
Now do you really want to relocate Israel?
I still think that someone who deliberately attacks a civilian population is a terrorist and that someone who hides behind his own civilians is a coward and a traitor to his own people.
And to all of you ignorant enough to call Israel terrorists just think what the deathrate would have been if Israel actually targeted the civilian population..
add to that the fact that the reports of civilian death and damage to infrastructure has been blown way out of preportion by the media.. (well, what you see on the news is what hezbollah wants you to see)
Zionism was happening as early as the 1890's. With most immegrants coming from the Eastern European countries, due to the the Polgroms(attacking and cleaning out of Jewish Grottos) Zionists applied for Nationhood through the 1920's-1930's via the League of Nations (United Nations but pre-war11) In a nutshell in order to for the Brits to control the Middle-East during the war. (Palestine was under their control) They promised the Jew's the State of Palistine as a Jewish state if they fight the Nazi's (Concentration camps were not commen knowledge then) and they would ratify it in the United Nations. At the same time, in order to not piss off the Palestinians they said they could have a form of independence. Must take into account the Palestinians were not a a formal Nation, but was made up of secular warlords or princes or what the hell they called arab men of power who suck the blood out of there impoverished diminions. However immediately after the war the Brits found they were losing power across the Middle East and in order to to keep a sembmlence of control they felt they couldnt piss off all the Arab leaders in the other States so they renegaded on their deal with the Zionists. They blockaded the ports into Israel and generally made it very difficult for the Jews in Palestines. They Jews in Israel and Jews in Europe who after the war had lost there sense of patrionism(understandably) decided to say bugger-it and the mass exodus to Palestine started. The Brits put the full might of the Empire to stop it but where unsuccessful. Thus with the Jews pissed off with the continous fobbing off in the League of Nations and later United Nations and the UN resolution only just passed (with the help of the good'ol US of A) they formed a Israeli State by force, with the Brits supporting the Palestines with arms and explosives. The initial retaluation by Palestinians was organised and executed by ex-warlords who had lost their source of income. The rest is history. The scary thing that nobody mentions at the moment is in this conflict is that both the controlling elements of Israel and Palestine are Fanatics, but Israel has got nuclear weapons. Tick, tock, tick, tock,..........Can someone please tell me what Israel has done to be hated so much for just existing. Exclude the current violence in the arguments. Who started it in the first place and who has been breaking peace accords or never signed peace accords. Please tell me what is going to be so terrible to the countries around Israel if Israel were left alone to exist in peace?
