Yeah, seeing those blown up women and children in Tel Aviv markets is pretty tough.
When was the last time that happened?

It last happened the last time the Israeli state pounded the Palestinians hard enough to provoke the terrorist reaction they required in order to "react". That's pretty much what always happens.When was the last time that happened?
you seem to be missing the difference between the actions of a state and that of a terrorist outfit
they are meant to be different
That isn't what's being said, and I'm pretty sure you know it.So killing civilians is ok depending who's doing it?

I just read bingiman's post, which was about what constitutes terrorism.Oh? What is Szare saying? You speaking for him/her now?
Just as bad as those killed by Israeli fighters, tanks and naval bombardments, and there's been an awful lot more of those.Yeah, seeing those blown up women and children in Tel Aviv markets is pretty tough.

What do you think they think? Have a guess.I agree that palestinian civilians should not be killed. I was wondering if other posters felt that the death of israeli civilians killed by suicide bombers etc was as wrong and tragic as the deaths of palestininan civilians.

no no no. allow it.
answer my question:
WHEN was the last time innocent (jewish we assume) civilian women and children were killed at a tel aviv market, by people we can only assume were muslim terrorists?
By moving away from suicide tactics, Hezbollah was tacitly conceding their limited efficacy. That lesson was driven home by the second intifada, launched in 2000. Palestinians with explosives belts blew up a Tel Aviv nightclub (22 dead), a Haifa restaurant (21) and a Jerusalem bus stop (20), among other targets.
Yet by 2004 the intifada was over. Suicide bombings have not been a serious threat to Israel since. This is because of the effectiveness of countermeasures such as erecting a security barrier along the West Bank and searching just about everyone entering a public premise in Israel, combined with targeted operations to arrest or kill militant leaders. Having seen their suicide campaign blunted, Hamas, like Hezbollah, decided to shift to rocket attacks, which could fly over Israeli defenses.
Do you think it is an even fight ?
I tried to broaden it when it dawned on me that what we get is a stream of threads about the latest Israeli atrocity.
Based on preliminary results of its investigation into the navy’s takeover of the Mavi Marmara, which ended with nine dead passengers and more than 30 wounded, the IDF said on Thursday that the commandos were attacked by a well-trained group of mercenaries, most of whom were found without IDs but with thousands of dollars in their pockets.
The group was well trained and was split into a number of squads of about 20 mercenaries each distributed throughout the upper deck, the IDF said. All of the mercenaries wore gas masks and ceramic bulletproof vests and were armed with either bats, slingshots, metal bars, knives or stun grenades.
The IDF’s understanding is that the mercenaries mainly chose dual-purpose items of this sort rather than guns, since opening fire would have made it blatantly clear that they were terrorists and not so-called peace activists.
Nevertheless, the IDF suspects that the group did have some guns of its own. Israeli forensic experts who examined the ship found casings belonging to a weapon that was not used by the commandos, and the Turkish captain of the ship later told the IDF that the “mercenaries” threw their weapons overboard after the commandos took control of the vessel.
T. said he realized the group they were facing was well-trained and likely ex-military after the commandos threw a number of stun grenades and fired warning shots before rappelling down onto the deck. “They didn’t even flinch,” he said. “Regular people would move.”
Each squad of the “mercenaries” was equipped with a Motorola communication device, the IDF said, so they could pass information to one another. Assessments in the defense establishment are that members of the group were affiliated with international global jihad elements and had undergone training in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Agreed.
Dylan's thread next door is the perfect example. It's absolutely fucking ludicrous, yet people are queueing round the block to pat him on the back!
As you say in your only post there, it's far more entertaining (though somewhat depressing, imo) to watch, than to be involved in.

No. Does that make the life of one civilian more valuable than that of another?
It's great. He posts something about how it's all a ruse to cover up a coming nuke attack on Iran, and posters come out with 'this is talking real good sense'.
I call it Nut-bait.
Why would you post a thing like that. Is there even a remote chance that it contains some truth?
time to burn them.
