16 year old killer

“The family of Husam Abdu, 16, of Nablus, who was caught on Wednesday at an IDF checkpoint with an explosive vest strapped to his body, has reacted with fury to reports that he had been dispatched to carry out a suicide attack.

His mother, however, said she would not have opposed the decision to send her son on the suicide mission had he been over 18.

“Equating the Israelis with terrorists shows a lack of understanding of the issue, and sounds anti-Semitic to me.”

“If the Israelis are terroists then so are we. But then again this is probably an OK assumption for the left as well.”

“It's not an ok assumption for anyone, Nigal. It's a term that is rapidly losing its original meaning because it is being used in contexts where that are too broad for the definition.

BTW, according to a certain 'rightie', teachers are terrorists too!”

“Yeah, Nigal, you're absolutely right. Any one of us on the left can be counted on to call our country a terrorist organization.

dweeb.”

“No no no TreeB! Teachers are brainwashers and history revisionists but NOT terrorists! LOL!

The whole idea that we are justified by going halfway ‘round the world and kicking a$$ is fine but Israel gets condemned for doing the same thing in their own back yard is madness. The crux of my post was that if Israel is a terrorist then so are we because we are both doing the same thing.”

“Like I said, Nig. The whole term is being used too loosely...”

“Ya fukin' terrorist! It is NOT! LOL!

I much prefer "evildoer" myself. Much more allencompassing and broad. Leaves a lot more room to do as one will.”

“Evildoer-dweeb!

;)”

“Ok, compromise time! Terrorist? Nah!

Evildoer? Eh, a bit overused.

Have we exhausted the use of the word sh_tweasel yet? Oohh, sorry Tilt!”

“Did you read the article I posted? If frorcefully evicting a famliuy from its home at gunpoint isn't terrorism, what is it?

I don't expect an anwer from you or a rsponse to this from anybody else, you'll just ignore it, because it's uncomfortable and you don't want to admit it and admit that its unmcomfortble and what it really is.”

“Israelis started out as terrorists before they were recognized. Terrorists bombings were common against the British in Palestine.”

“I forgot you were in this thread taking a realistic and objective look at pthings.

Excpet for bearmangnet I don't expect anybody else to honestly asess what is happening there and what do you call it when you forecefully evict a family from its home in the dead of night at gunpoint?

And don't try to claim its an isolated incident-stories like this are in the foreingn press all the time. But not in the US press.”

“"Have we exhausted the use of the word sh_tweasel yet?"

Oh, well look who's calling liberals terrorists NOW? LOL!”

“Bales it's not uncomfortable for me at all. As I said before, equating Israelis with terrorists is anti-Semitic. Take it or leave it. And forcing someone out of their home is not terrorism. There is no indication that there was any political motive behind the acts of the activists. A political motive is a key component of terrorist acts. I suggest you check the definition of terrorism.”

“Bales, you're calling the detroit police department terrorists?!

Idiot.”

“Stickman - equating Israelis as terrorists is anti-Semitic? That's a little strong I think (I am not equating them as anything, btw)

If I say I don't agree with Israeli policy am I Anti-Semitic?”

“Of course fourcing people out of there homes at gunpoint has a political motive. Its Israiel's settlement policy. A poltical policy. You know what it is. Iknow what it is. He knows what it. She knows what it is. Everytbody but the US media knows what it is.

Stickmanwalikng your response smacks of intllectual dishonesty and you know it. Apparently your just trying to argue for arguments sake.”
