Israel is a parasite requiring American money, military aid and political sponsorship. The US government is in the end governed by the voice of its constituency. Israelis have been very careful not to put the US government in a position where it could no longer support Israel.<br /><br />What Israel has been doing is land grabbing of the West Bank by stealth, through the bull on Jewish 'settlements'. It has the financial support of the Jewish community throughout the world, and the US-equipped military power to enforce the illegal land robbery.<br /><br />Suicide bombing is an act of desperation like what the Tamil Tigers had done - matter of fact, the Tigers invented the art of suicide bombing. And apart from the relatively less desperate situation, how could Washington and his men in his days of blunderblass conduct suicide bombing? Don't be naive Rajan.<br /><br />As for your <i>"compare this with lobbing Negev towns with missiles, bombing Tel Aviv night clubs, Haifa restaurants and Jerusalem buses"</i> didn't Menachem Begin and his Irgun basically do the same? King David Hotel (almost a la twin towers)? The shameful massacre at Deir Yassin?<br /><br />And don't forget the recent gross & shameful one-sided attacks on Gaza, including the war crimes of using phospherous bombs against civilians, targetting Red Cross ambulance and women and children including UN and Red Cross buildings (GPS coordinates already provided to Israeli military).<br /><br />Your continuous defence of the Israelis while condemning the Sri Lankans is unmitigated cringing hypocrisy.KTemochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018893363551120035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-89500478279634844662009-09-27T23:00:16.224+08:002009-09-27T23:00:16.224+08:00As for terrorism, when was the last time George Wa...As for terrorism, when was the last time George Washington directed a suicide bombing, or similar attact, on Loyalist civilians? If there were any civilian deaths in the American Revolutionary War, they were either the exceptions or collateral damage.<br /><br />Now, compare this with lobbing Negev towns with missiles, bombing Tel Aviv night clubs, Haifa restaurants and Jerusalem buses.<br /><br />KT, on one hand you call Israelis neo-nazis because they build towns in the West Bank but call Palestinian terrorists "freedom fighters" even though they intentially target civilians. The height of your hypocrisy.<br /><br />'(S)taging a couple of fake rocket attacks'? Man, I suppose with your virulent, irrational hatred of Israel, you'd believe anything. <br /><br />P.S. If Israel wanted to really create a lebensraum for themselve in the West Bank, they have the weaponry to execute that within a couple of days. After all, your contention is that Israel is not at all bounded by international norms and have neo-Nazi tendancies.rajan rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10713478750088044267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-64431697661456539142009-09-27T22:48:33.666+08:002009-09-27T22:48:33.666+08:00The vast majority of "settlers" happen t...The vast majority of "settlers" happen to live in Jerusalem suburbs that happen to be on the wrong side of the 1948 Green Line. How was the 1948 Green Line decided? War - the international border between an Arab state and a Jewish state would be quite dramatically different. A couple of decades after 1967 and suddenly the Green Line is sacred and must be the boundary between any eventual Palestinian state and Israel.<br /><br />The settlement movement is still problematic for Palestinians, I'd admit. Perhaps they, and their international supporters, should change tact. Move from, "Stop building settlements and prepare to dismantle them, Israel" to "Lets move to accommodate a Jewish minority".<br /><br />After all, the whole point of the settlement movement is to create facts on the ground that will make a two-state solution infeasible. If the Palestinians shrug and say they don't mind Jews in their eventual state, it will knock the wind right out of the settlement movement's sails.rajan rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10713478750088044267noreply@blogger.com
