Looks like self-defense to me.

I'm inclined to agree with you. My question is, are those affected human and should one use humane treatment on those that refuse humane treatment to others, not just in Israel but elsewhere?

Also, I missed the number of Israelis killed and harmed by the sub-humans. Did you happen to see the numbers anywhere?

Not with regard to the "palestinians," and the efforts to strong-arm Israel into risking national suicide, no."

Thanks for your response. Are you prepared to oppose US policy?

There may be higher death rates in Israel for obvious reasons, but club them with China and Saudi Arabia?

Very good points and ones that we must keep a closer eye on. We should be looking for few countries under sharia law, yet it would seem that there are those elements that would expand sharia law.

If what the State Dept. is referring to is the "incursions" into Palestinian territory, then our State Dept. is so far off the mark here. They are doing, in principle, exactly what we are doing. Damn! I hate the State Dept.

On this matter, of course.

Now for some questions of your own...

Does "palestine" exist?
Where?
Why?
Is it occupied?
By whom?

Do you support the US foreign policy in the Middle East?

I don't support a 'Palestinian state'. They continue to show every day that they are incapable of civilized behavior.

Israel? Can't be. We're puppets of the zionists. Pravda and Peter Arnett said so.

Nope, sorry.

they often undertook targeted killings in civilian areas that resulted in innocent bystanders being killed.

Oh, I see. So, when we obliterated a wedding party if about 100 people in Afghanistan --- that too was a human rights violation.

Or today, killing a few women and children that refused to stop --- are they not innocent bystanders.

Well, I guess, in Afghanistan and Iraq we are in a war zone, but Israel is, of course, not. Perhaps after today's killing of women and children, Sharon should call on Bush to exercise "restraint?"

The State Department still has vast quantities of folks who probably agree with France more that they agree with the President.

All they have to do is open Jordanian borders, the true Palestine, to the palis, absorb them into an all ready existing cultural and religious palestine state, and thereby putting araRAT and his many terrorist groups out of business.

do you really believe that this would end the terrorism against Israel???? I don't. As long as Israel exists these fleas will keep biting.

"I don't support a 'Palestinian state'. They continue to show every day that they are incapable of civilized behavior."

That's not my question. Let me restate: Do you support the US foreign policy? If not, are you prepared to battle the Bush policy?

Yeah, throw Israel in with the scum of the earth. How about telling the Pali's to stop "occupying" Isreali land. What about a little clarity here?

I have no objection to President Bush's stated policy. He has said, over and over, that the Palestinians will have a state of their own when they renounce terrorism utterly and demonstrate that they are capable of conducting themselves in a truly democratic manner. This means by actually changing their behavior, not by making worthless empty promises.

I don't expect this to happen in my lifetime.

Do you support rewarding terrorism? That's what our policy regarding Israeli settlements does.

Do you support the occupation of the true "palestinian homeland?" That's what our policy regarding the peace process does.

Here's another question: is Yasser Arafat a palestinian?
