But killing civilians is wrong, killing is NEVER, NEVER justified.

And if you knew anything about the actual bombing, you would know that the people injured weren't just his family and that the bombing of civilians alongside with the Hamasleader was intentional...
You totally misunderstood my point. I lived in Israel for a while and I know plenty about the bombings... A couple of my friends were actually killed.... anyway... I was trying to say that Sharon is trying to prove a point to the palestinian terrorists that you can't just hide behind your family because we will not hesitate to make the israeli people safe. There are always people minding there own business (young and old) who are caught in the crossfire between the two nations (hell it happens here in the US too... look at gang wars in LA). And one of the most promising facts is that Palestinian people are starting to not harbor terrorists anymore for fear of what might now happen to there families. Any idiot terrorist out there who loves his/her family wouldn't hide behind them and would take what's coming to them. I mean they want to blow themselves up anyway... why take their families along with them?
And the palestinians are just blowing up a few civilians... so what? the palestinians were trying to prove a point, that you cannot hide behind your people (actually, not only the hamas family died in that bombing, a lot of others did too) because we will not hesitate to make the Palestinians safe. There are always people minding their own business (young and old) who are caught in the crossfier between the two nations (hell it happens her in Sweden too... look at the shadow wars in Stockholm). And one of the least promising facts is that the Israelis will not take one step back, instead they will continue their terrorism. Any idiot Israeli soldier out there who loves his/her family wouldn't hide behind them (i am sure nobody beyond the grade of sargant actually spends time with his family in the israely army) and if they should then they would take what's coming to them. i mean if they want to get praised in battle anyways, so why keep the families where they aren't safe?
But it is a reality of the human condition.War is a limitation of vision, a form of mental illness.
Actually, it has a great deal to do with what is happening in Israel today. Israel was created after Europe nearly exterminated an entire race of people. It was from those ashes that Jews started flocking back to ancient Israel.and it is also a reality. if we hadn't fought a war you would be either wearing a nazi arm band or dead already for your views.

That was almost sixty years ago... and if the south would have won, black people would still be slaves in the US... your point is? were you in that war? were you even born?
What does that have to do with what is happening in Israel today? NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING...
And the zionists legally purchased the land from the owners (Ottomans). The Palestinians were land squatters who had no legal rights to the land on which they lived. England helped the zionists? You are not just a troll, but a very stupid one at that. Zionists started the suicide bombing trend AGAINST ENGLAND in an attempt to end British rule in Palestine.Stop blaming the others if you don?t know the Palestinian story. It started from 1948, England and the other western countries started to help the Zionist movement to help Them conquer Palestine and to kick the Arabs from Palestine by force. And they Succeed in that and they form ?ISRAEL? ?? And the whole western world which believes In democracy and human rights recognize it as a country???????????
Exactly.And the palestinians are just blowing up a few civilians to kill who.... a few civilians... at least the israelis are trying to go after a known terrorist... I don't see the people eating at restaurants and going to nightclubs building bombs and going after innocent palestinians.

Forgive me but this seems like such a stupid point. The Palestinians are trying to end occupation by practicing terrorism because it's the only weapon they have. The Israelis are trying to end terrorism by killing terrorists. If the Palestinians had all the weapons and the Israelis were practicing terrorism, don't you think everything would be the other way round. Who is doing what is dependent on the aim.

I'm 100% sure that no nation in the world has suffered as much as the Israeli and no nation has been treated as unfair. What they're doing they're trying to protect themselves, their lives and property. Terrorist organizations and terrorist suicide bombers are the ultimate source of unjustifiable aggression that no religion can approve of. Suicide bombers have nothing to do with Islam, it has been said dozens of times by Islamic religious authorities. What's going on is a terrible, awful mistake.

Israel is a terrorist nation, and no reasonably intelligent person can support them or their actions.

Very interesting post, Stark. Fascinating to see war analyzed with cold reason and an eye to pragmatic outcome. Very Machiavellian. The problem I have with it would be similar to my critique of the market, there exists around the analysis a kind of vacuum, a failure of understanding as to what is value, what are desirable outcomes, what are the effects on the psyche. I see in your analysis, the hand of Evil, the cunning mind at work, the calculator the strategist, the future oriented goal seeker. Because man does not know for what he seeks he has the fantasy it lies in victory. I think the real victory lies in defeat, the death of the ego. When that happens war, violence and hate disappear and the real man, the real victor, the undefeatable one emerges. From that vantage I think the analysis you quoted is revealed as nothing more than what I have alluded to before, a sophisticated form of self justification based on the need to avoid feelings of guilt. War is a limitation of vision, a form of mental illness.
and it is also a reality. if we hadn't fought a war you would be either wearing a nazi arm band or dead already for your views.
That was almost sixty years ago... and if the south would have won, black people would still be slaves in the US... your point is? were you in that war? were you even born?
What does that have to do with what is happening in Israel today? NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING...
To this thread, your comment is of NO value... at all... not more than one that states that whenever a black man does something, we should think about the civil war... If the Jewish state of Israel does something wrong, people condemn them, and it has NOTHING to do with anti-semitism...
This comment is stupid, irrelevant and at best... just an attempt to irritate...
perhaps your comments have no value at all because they have no basis in reality.
So if i cannot accept that a sixty year old war, that has been over and done with for sixty years has no relevance to the action of the arabs, my opinions have no basis in reality?
I will stop arguing with you, you mix the palestinians bombings with the holocaust, the retaliation with the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki, a hamas leader with hitler...
THE WWII HAS ENDED.. get it? IT WAS SIXTY YEARS AGO... MAY IT NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN, BUT IT HAS NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH TO DO WITH THIS WAR!
Just understand this, this isn't a new persecution of Jews, i am sure if catholics live in the same settlemets they will not be spared... get it? do you understand it? this is NOT the holocaust all over again.....
you will stop argueing with me because all your arguements result in absurdity when taken to their logical conclusion. in your moral relativism we're all the same, we're all terrorists. even wars of defense are terrorist actions. you live in some morally relative universe where criminals are criminals only because police officers exist. and well, the police officers themselves are criminals too.
No, actually i will stop arguing because you do not see arabs and jews equal... you are a racist.. down to the bonemarrow.. i cannot change that so i will stop... The proof of that you just stated... everone can be a terrorist, white, arab, jew or whatever, you cannot accept the simple fact that if you bomb civilians intentionally you are a terrorist, i can... and i would be what the germans once called a true arier...

While I disagree with the authors choice of words for title, please look up the term antie-semite before just throwing it out there when someone disagrees with Israeli policy ok?Originally posted by: ShotgunSteve

Since when being anti-sharon and anti-Israel military occupation and ethnic cleansing (Man of Peace) is anti-semitic?
Your title says ISRAEL is getting what it deserves. Not Sharon, not occupying troops, etc.
