jpk, the Palestinians are not resisting the occupation in the name of Islam. They are resisting the occupation in the name of freedom, liberty, and justice. Those are ideals we value here in the US as well, don't you think?

And not all Palestinians are Muslims. There are Christian Palestinians as well. They also suffer under the occupation. So if you can't get past your burning hatred of Muslims in order to have some compassion for the Palestinians who are Muslim, maybe you can find it in your heart to have some compassion for the Palestinians who are Christian.

Or maybe you're just not the sort of Christian who believes in compassion. That sort of Christian doesn't sound like much of a Christian to me.

BTW, Tom Hurndall was shot in the head by Israeli soldiers while trying to get some children out of the line of fire of those same soldiers. Maybe you think shooting at children is ok, but personally, I don't see much difference between shooting at children and beheading people, in terms of magnitude of badness. But that's just me.
