Thread Name: BS: Who Are the Terrorists
Subject: RE: BS: Who Are the Terrorists
Jack the Sailor says, "it is clear that only one government is overtly employing terror [referring to Israel]."

But how is that better than the covert employment of terror by the Palestinian government? In some cases it's not even all that covert; look at Arafat's statement on Friday, as his compound was being occupied by Israeli soldiers, when he said (in reply to Israel's statement that they had no intention of harming him) that he hoped he would be a martyr so that Palestinian terrorists could avenge his death ("To Palestine, millions of martyrs will flow"). If that's not a blatant call to arms for terrorists, I don't know what is.
