And they are really smart too. They only go off if the right person starts them and there are no children playing nearby.
If a country gave quarter to terrorists who were KNOWN to have attcked the US, they would be pressed-hard (see Afghanistan) by the US to either turn them over or to at least evict them. Countries decide who is permitted to live there. And if you decide to provide sanctuary to another's country's enemies, you involve yourself in that broil. Taken to extreme, one could argue that terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians are being initiated from Syria. Your 'concern' is a double-edged sword.
There are so many zionists, and people who the palestinians call terrorists living under the protection of Israel. Does this justify the bombing of all of ISrael for this one crazed person?
No certainly not, I prefer a much more efficient assassination, you know grassy knoll style. Countries borders be damned, if you are a terrorist, there should be nowhere to feel safe. DD
Did Israel bomb all of Syria? Does Israel even bomb all of Palestine? More importantly, how has Israel treated 'zionists' (your usage) who attacked or were preparing to attack Palestinians? What happened to the ones preparing explosives for a Palestinian school, for instance? Were they thwarted and arrested, or allowed to target innocents then given sanctuary?
So you are sure this guy was a terrorist? No trial?Just because he his from an opposing party .....Hamas is a Palestinian group....Syria is'nt exactly Palestine.....means you can go kill a guy...this is'nt exactly solving the problem...this will harbor more terrorists....who will feel oppressed and follow the same path....Isreal is'nt exactly a fair state....anyways funny how the media has squewed the image of opinion on most people....and how many people's views are based on this opinion.
No, OK does it justify bombing of any part of Israel with civillians in it? One of these zionists, who is against all palestinians is running the country...
Originally posted by adeelsiddiqui No, OK does it justify bombing of any part of Israel with civillians in it? That's the tough question we all face, including the US. We've certainly bombed civilians trying to get at enemies. It appears that the present 'generally' accepted 'rule' is to attack but do all in one's power to avoid harming innocent civilians, not target them. And of course, the target must be worthy. A leader of a terrorist organization is a worthy target. So the answer is essentially, yes, Israel has a right to attack inside another country to defend itself. If Syria doesn't wish to put it's citizens in harm's way, they shouldn't knowingly harbor terrorists. Of course Syria then has a right to defend it's borders, but Israel has every right to protect it's citizens first. It's not Israel escalating the situation, but Syria. E.g., let a country, any country give safe-harbor to obl and see what happens. One of these zionists, who is against all palestinians is running the country... And a terrorist is running the PLO, what's your point? You don't think the PLO would have killed Sharon by now if they could have? My thinking is that many horrible things were done by both sides, esp. right after the Mandate. If Arafat and Sharon could create peace, maybe they could both be forgiven their misdeads (since who would ever know who was the chicken and who the egg). Instead, these 2 only make things worse. They should both go away.
we are running around in circles, pointing fingers. One thing should be clear, If the Israelis are allowed to fight for their peace, and tranquility, so should the Palestinians.
the same should be said to the Isreali army(u think they don't target innocent civilians).... too bad everyone here sees one side of the story..... while if you go and live in an Arab country you see the other side.... well atleast the stories...since Palestine does'nt have no real media. people look at things at the prespective they are shown.... too bad both sides are wrong.... one side is the bad guy the other good.... just like hollywoooooooooooooood....and that's the way they want it
DD ..... but both sides have targeted innocent...so both sides are worse?? the definition of war has changed....technology has changed it....powerful nations do not really need to send ground trrops anymore....just blow up suspected targets....lets not kid our selfs...the gap of power and ability of the use of power has changed soooo significantly that the war that used to be is over with....the weak have no way in reaching the powerful.... and Isreal is the most powerful nation in the middle east...by FAR. was'nt the Hamas leader a civilian....where's the proof he was a terrorist....its becoming a scary place if a nation can just go kill someone in a different country without the permission of the country where the bomb was placed....it's a disgusting showcase of power.
Alawites and Sunnis aren't crazy about each other, but I doubt that Assad would reopen that issue by giving the OK for a hit in Syria.
Hamas = terrorist organization, has claimed responsibility for terroris actions Leader of Hamas = leader of terrorist organization = terrorist Seems pretty simple to me. If you are the president of a chemical company, and your company is producing illegal chemicals, you don't have to be a chemical engineer to be held responsible.
