    Because historically there's a culture within their religion that promotes the most radical interpetation. Similiar to the interpetation of the Inquisition. Although now those extreme cultures are catered to by oil rich arab countries ie they fund the radical culture.

    But this goes back to the crusades, which I think might happen again.

    I don't think that Israel's leaving Palestinians behind economically. There is just no longer a market for Terror. Palestinians should concentrate on getting Nike contracts instead of suicide bombings.

    1) you could use a smaller nuclear bomb that would blow up a smaller portion of israel. Just say Tel Aviv.
    2) The smaller bomb could be SMUGGLED in and DETONATED, not a missile!

    D'ur! Chances are a group like Iran's Hezbollah will get a hold of a dirty atomic bomb and sneak it into Tel Aviv. That way everyone will know radical islamists did it, but not from what country.


    P.S.

    Everyone knows Muslims claim to be the TRUE sons of Abraham. Muslims claim the slave girl's son Ishmael is the rightful heir. Whereas Jews claim to be the rightful heirs of Abraham's son Isaac.

    The qu'ran says for instance it was Ishmael who was about to be sacrificed to God, not Isaac.

    Interesting to note is that there are Twelve Tribes of Israel, and Twelve Tribes of Arabia, all descendants of Abraham's sons Isaac and Ishmael, respectively. Isaac's Jacob had 12 sons for each tribe, whereas Ishmael's 12 sons make up his tribes.

    Nah the Western media refuse to give the 'real' reason behind this entire BS. That’s why I prefer to view sources from people who actually live there rather than see it on commercial TV like FOX or CNN or quote some crap from a website which was probably compiled by someone who has never actually been to the West bank.

    Read the comments on the photos, might help to understand what your actually looking at.

    You will probably never understand that civillian casualties is a side-effect of defending your own arse.

    Civilian casualties are actually from occupation and oppression, defending your own arse is a need and want to end occupation and oppression and I do understand more than you think because as we discussed before you haven’t lived in a conflict so your experience is via media only...I haven’t forgot you don’t watch TV ;)

    I wonder what your thoughts would be if the shoe was on the other foot and your land was "occupied" and "oppressed" by a superior government that killed and maimed your people.

    it's not that easy to get hold of an atomic bomb *hopefully* :eek:

    besides that, don't forget there're intelligence services and spies everywhere and Israeli Mosad is still one of the best.
    If they can find and prevent over 99% of terrorist's attacks against Israel (yup almost all of them are prevented, but you only see on CNN the few that unfortunately succeed), there's a high probability they would know about such bomb before it's too late.

    How would you like to hear from an Israeli?

    Well if you would like to or not, I'm here.

    I'll let you know about the point of view of some one who lives in Israel, about the whole situation:

    Israel is the only democracy in the whole middle east. All of the countries that surround us, are Muslim countries, which their only purpose is to kill as many Israelis as possible.

    The world does not understand this, because people from outside Israel do not understand what suicide bombers are capable of doing. Well yes, there was 9/11, and I'm not going to say that wasn't hard. But I will say that that happened only once.

    To live in constant fear of a Muslim Arab killing you, is different.

    We want peace. We've had enough of all the Arabs around trying to kill us.

    We want to live side by side with the Arabs, as neighbors. Peacefully.

    The only country who really seems to understand and support us is the united states. (did you watch when our prime minister spoke in the senate?! every 5 seconds they stopped him to clap hands for him! It was amazing!)

    So to conclude. Israel wants peace.

    Amigo.

    I would think positive and understand that I am not a target if I don't oppose the occupier. And what's so bad about killing terrorists?

    Well let's not forget that Condolezza supported the deportation of the Israeli civillians from their homes in Gaza which later on enabled a terrorbased wannabe-government to take shape.

    For some reason I doubt that.

    But don't forget, never in the history of the world, terrorists achieved their grand goal, not in Israel, Ireland, Spain or anywhere else.

    If I remember correctly, offering peace to its neighbors is part of Israel's declaration of independence. You can't get more declarative than that! You will not find that in charters of any other nation.

    The Palestinians on the other hand.... Well we all know what they want.
