Killing it's own people (like Muhammad Al Dura 2000, Rafah 2002 in a cave & now Gaza beach 2006) = "israeli aggression". Arab settlers (at the 1800's and their...

The Overwhelming wrong "Palestinians"A terrible majority & mainstreamI do try to be tolerant to everyone, frankly, their 70% support for genocide does not help me. The entire "Palestinian" society is a sick system, from the indoctrination to the death cult (recruiting to or glorifying mass murderers as "martyrs") to their mainstream media to their mainstream schools/Mosques, etc. Suffice to say, Watch a normal Israeli TV program VS a "normal" 'Palestinian' one, an all out warning if you attempt to listen to their Friday sermons from the mosques. http://pmw.org.il http://memritv.org/Search.asp?ACT=S5&P1=64No, the problem is not just with a "fringe" group, or just...

Public opinion and the people's will by Hani Masri The Jerusalem Times (independent Palestinian weekly) 26 February 2004 www.jerusalem-times.net/article/news/details/detail.asp?id=4840 Last Sunday's bus bombing in Jerusalem is an example of great sacrifice. Nonetheless, despite the noble motives that brought about the military operation, it served to strengthen Israel's ians. Hamas and Jihad movements have broached ideas about taking civilians off their list of targets. Their other declared objective was to wipe Israel off the map.
