I'm a little bored and a little sick of hearing this argument. It is nothing more than an excuse to do nothing. If you kill terrorists and their sympathizers, you will eventually get them all. If along the way, all Palestinians become terrorist based on the reasoning you state above, then the equation simply becomes one where killing all the terrorists also equals killing all the Palestinians. If that is their choice, so be it. But it is wrong to cowtow to terrorists. There is only one right answer -- overwhelming and brutal reactionary force in opposition to any terrorist activity.
MY OPINION. [/QUOTE]There's a word for that, it's called genocide. I thought it was the Arabs that were supposed to be the barbaric ones? Furthermore, there's no regard for law in your reasonsing, which is the basis for civilization.

Nice to see a diverse selection of news there from all political spectra and points of view.
Also, comparing Britain and the colonies is completely different. After colonialism was no longer fashionable, Britain and France both had international legitimacy in the form of League of Nations Mandates and created viable and fully-functional states where none had previously existed. The day I see Israel work for a viable Palestinian state I will eat my hat.
If you ask people in every country around the world who the greatest threats to world peace are, they will say American, Israel and North Korea. It is just not possible for all these countries, with all their completely different cultures and news agencies to agree on something without there being some grain of truth in it. America and Israel are rogue states that pay no regard to international law.
