Thread Name: BS: Israel Moves in.
Subject: RE: BS: Israel Moves in.
Terrorism is born out of a fatal & final desprate attempt at a release from an overwhelming oppression. Had slavery in the US had the means & technology to wage terror it would have done so with a vengence. There is always some truth at the birth of terrorism but from there it becomes a festering wound that sickens. If an oppressor wantst o truly eradicate terrorism it has to start with an examination of it's onw policy towards those seeking relief from them & the causes that the terrorists sprung from. As with the US we have still yet to ask ourselves why we are hated & subjected to terrorist attacks. Until we asked these questions & do something about answering those asnwers we will only continue to treat the symptoms of a disease instead to treating the causes that are making & turning us into such sick societies. How can anyone justify the actions of Israel or Hamas, we should be condeming both, both are killing the innocent. You cannot ask one to stop & not the other, both are to be condemed. But I don't believe that Israel or Hamas wants to stop both have their causes to champion & crusade & the innocent be damned. The only problem is, were I Israeli I would be ashamed to be called an Israeli, if I were Hamas I also be ashamed but I would not be ashamed to be called a Palestinian. How many of each are dying? I see very few Israeli dying, I see few Hamas dying too but I see very many Palestinians dying. That is what the US did to Iraq or tried to claim it did. We as a nation invaded a country using the excuse that we were trying to stop a group not a nation from attacking US, so we killed a nation in the process. Israel is killing a people to get to an origanisation.
