What makes a terrorist?

New posts
Wait a minute here busterGen! Some of us do know Uncle Timmy. Do you know anyone on this board? YOU are the one hiding behind a "name", unless your first name is 6th and the last name is Gen. Play fair!!!

I don't hang out with internet people.

But I have met Smiling Joe. And believe it or not Chickpea (thanks to her detailed description of herself I realized it). And probably a few others that have come across my secret Cheney lair in Washington.
 
why have the arabs never solved the issue of the palestinian refugee problem? because it would not suit their purpose of using this scam problem to scapegoat israel.

everyone in the middle east is open about this. it's only uneducated people in the west who refuse to acknowledge it even though the arab council is fairly open about it. only their approved propaganda spouts conflicting fallacies about the "isreali occupiers". nobody believes that except their palestinian pawns and the westerners! and the west seems to accept it as an excuse for terrorism, so why not keep using it?

isreal is still coping with the issue of resolving the problems of absorbing tens of millions of jewish refugees each year into their very small country somehow. providing them with housing, food, education, job training and money. in the last 5 years the country's population doubled. despite the poverty and difficulties of having a country that is entirely made up of first and second generation refugees, most exiled from their arab homes and lands or escaped concentration camps. they have focused all their energies on building and educating. in fact, 1 in 10 isrealis has written and registered a patent for technological advances. windows, voicemail, your cell phone, aol instant messenger, all invented in isreal, by isrealis.

those arabs who make up 20% of israel's population are also eligible for those social programs and benefits. in addition, they have a disproportionate representation in the isreal knesset to ensure their rights.

so, why is that with the ghettoization of palestinians in jordan and syria, they never revolt in those countries? because they simply get mowed down by the arab govts. their is NO space for dissention there.

why does it happen in isreal? because isreal allows them more freedoms than those arab countries and because the arab council funds it and rewards it. all suicide bombers are given HUGE cash awards, homes and cars. it pays to be a murderer and a criminal in the palestinian territories.

even after isreal pulled out of gaza and, in the process, destroying over 100 isreali generational farms, there has not been ONE DAY that the palestinians haven't shot rockets into isreali homes and schools. EVERY SINGLE DAY. you're welcome.

you NEVER hear about the nursery schools that are bombed by the PLO EVERYDAY on our news. the west is so ignorant. they don't understand that what makes terrorists is facism and hate. they are so patronizing about the arabic culture, they don't realize that there is a different view on what creates a level of respect.

i will tell you that while the arabs hate isreal. they respect them. isreal knows how to engage them in a culturally appropriate way. they MOCK america and europe. they know we will believe any crap they feed us.

ignorance makes terrorists. and pacifism. the pacifism required to allow facist, fundamentalist extremist to treat violence as a "cultural right". and the ignorance required to insist that there is some kind of equality in a terrorist's attack of defenseless civilians and a country's military's attempt to defend their people. that's what it takes to make terrorism grow.

Raven,
I am not quite sure or clear I follow what your point here is. You are certainly partially right that many arab countries have abandoned the Palestinians (financially, politically, morally even), although on the other hand, some countries like Jordan and Lebanon opened up their borders to scores of refugees, and in 1974-75, this became one of the root causes of the civil unrest that led to a civil war that lasted 20 years + in Lebanon.
Not sure how to address the points you make about Palestinians lobbying rockets daily - until some of the wrongs that were done to them, and until their youth feel they have some semblance of a political voice and some hope for a future, the cycle of violence and destruction will continue.

What about Southern blacks? They were treated worse than Palestinians, but you don't see rockets fired from southern Atlanta.

Sorry that your self esteem depends on declaring yourself the winner of internet arguments and thinking that you've proved yourself to people who don't know you under an assumed name against people that you don't know and who don't take you seriously.

Funny that you should interest yourself with MY self esteem.

Kinda makes us all wonder how YOUR self esteem can withstand the embarassment of having 1,352 people (and growing) view a thread where you display some of the poorest thinking skills I have seen since I stopped paying attention to Bush Admin press briefings.

Apparently you are comfortable living in a world where bravada and stubborness are an acceptable substitute for reason.

Want to guess as to how many of those 1,352 people are coming with you?

Your attitude in this whole debate reminds me more of that scene from Dr. Srtrangelove when Slim Pickins rides the A-bomb to hell, whooping and hollering like a mad man.

(Since you felt obliged to make a movie reference, I added my own.)
