Subject: RE: BS: WMDs, Iran and Bush
I see you prefer to change the subject when your "facts" are shown to be mere lies, Teribus. Your perogative, but lies they remain.

The facts are that most of the people who lived and worked in the area that is now Israel and the West Bank and Gaza for hundreds and in some cases more than a thousand years have been dispossessed of almost of all that they ever had though an ongoing and relentless process of ethnic cleansing by Europeans who settled in the area and established a colonialist enterprise requiring a population demographic in which they would always be in the majority. These colonialists have committed ongoing and too numerous to count human rights abuses and violations as well as war crimes and other atrocities.

Violent acts have been committed by the people who were being dispossessed, but those acts have no less moral legitimacy than violent acts committed by any other people in defense of their homes, land, and people. We in the US threaten any countries that would consider acts of aggression against us with nuclear annihilation, which, of course, would kill many millions of innocent civilians, women, children, old people, etc. The indigenous people of Palestine certainly have as much right to defend themselves as we do.
