The Palestinians should worry about any threats from Israel...they're not one to make empty threats...and they're very capable of making this happen. Being that all Israeli's are required to serve in the military, it's no wonder that there's such a high concern and importance placed on a kidnapped soldier. It's nice to see. |

Malice User ID: 14553 United States 07/01/2006 12:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He's not necessarily of any real importance. As I said before, the Israeli's have a very high national pride of their military, considering everyone is obligated to serve as a citizen of Israel. I am leaning more towards the kidnapping just being the straw that broke the camel's back. The terrorism from the Palestinians needs to stop. With all the concessions and diplomacy that Israel has been showing lately, the Palestinians needed to put more effort into controlling the terrorist factions that function within their territories. They were unable to, and now Israel has decided swiftly to solve the problem for them. I wouldn't put on your doom hats or have panic sex...this is actually good for the area, believe it or not. Notice that Israel is being very careful to avoid civilan casualties. This isn't an occupation, it's an counter-terrorist response. |
Islamic_Guy User ID: 110956 Canada 07/01/2006 12:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why is it "terrorism" when an Arab assasinates someone, but when Isreal threatens it, it's "about time". Surely some of you are gravely hypocritical! Enough of this talk of violence for those of us fortunate enough to be sitting here at our computers while others are struggling with these issues, and paying in blood! BOTH sides are wrong! The imperialists see extremists everywhere. It's not that we are extremists. It's that the world is waking up. It's waking up all over. And people are standing up. - Hugo Chavez. |

Obviusly Israel is the good guy when destroying the only central in a country where the temperatures are up to 120°F and the electrical ventilation or air conditioners are inutilizable. Also tere is no water, no food, no medicaments for most of the families, a yogurt for 10 kids. And the world watch silent... |

You know...when Israel was declared a state in 1948, how many nations that immediately attacked were Arab? Israel has been fighting for its existance for as long as its been around. You can't even begin to compare Israel with Palestinians. The 1970 hijackings, The 1972 Olympics attack, over 1100 Israelis have been killed since the year 2000 purely from Palestinian-claimed attacks. I'm not anti-arab, I happen to work for a few at the moment. I'm also not anti-muslim. But I am anti-terrorism. It a disgusting way of trying to progress a cause, and should be crushed whenever possible. |

Do you ever have any idea of the BS you are saying? this whole middle est stuff is a long very old planned destabilization in which the USA as the biggest role, and since it goes also in favor of Israel might to control the region that why they are so close friends..in fact now is israel that dictate what the USA should or not do and that also why no country in the world would be allowed to do what israel is doing I mean KINDNAPPING A WHOLE LOT OF MINISTERS democratically elected and place them in prison and then threaten to kill them....you got to be kidding!! any other country in the world would be invaded by the UN by now..no israel. |
Islamic_Guy User ID: 110956 Canada 07/01/2006 12:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yet Isreal is threatening this very thing right now, terrorism! That is the very subject of this thread! Here is an example. The Palestinians capture a soldier, who is on duty, and in a war zone. This used to be called a P.O.W, because they are at war, and we both know that! Yet hypocrits call it a "kidnapping". So Isreal goes into Gaza and captures 80+ members of an elected leadership, but it is called "captured" in the media, not "kidnapped". Yet these men are not soldiers! Then they threaten to assasinate one of them, which the Palestinians have not even threatened yet, and they are somehow "better", because the Palestinians started it? We could go back and forth all night about "who started it", because it has been "tit-for-tat" in that region for 60 years! My point is that it is time to stop this non-sense on BOTH sides, and it is time for those who support Israel over the Palestinians to realize that Israel is no better then what they claim to be fighting.

I disagree with you in that the soldier is considered a POW. If he was fighting in a war-zone, and was captured by soldiers, then this would be considered 'technically' true. He was, however, captured by a terrorist faction, with no official ties to the Palestinian "military". He was, therefor, kidnapped. I understand your belief that Israel is just as bad as the Palestinians, but I think it's been shown, especially recently, that Israel has been making the effort to reach a peaceful relationship with the Palestinian territories. All of Israel's operations for the past 5 years have been REACTionary to Palestinian attacks, or pre-emptive of upcoming attacks. The current operation is no different. They are reacting to the kidnapping of one of their soldiers, and are maintaining their policy of non-negotiation with terrorists. |

I think that the problem here is that we need to drop this concept of "terrorist". Calling someone a "terrorist" has a negative brand on the mind. Language is a tool that is currently being used to brainwash us all. The problems that we are encountering between our seperate societies, I think could be half solved by just language alone! I am probably as guilty as the next guy of getting swept up by this type of branding, but not in this particular instance. I am not kidding when I say that BOTH parties are at fault, but in this instance I do believe that Israel has gone to far, and is acting to "terrorize". Would I have been posting here during the beginning of the intifada's of Arafat, I would have spoken out about that too. In this instance, Israel has gone too far. Westerners have a habit of short term thinking I find, and they do not understand the middle eastern mind. Does anyone realize that this particular raid is going to open a pandora's box in the Middle East, if Israel keeps up these actions? Israel has basicaly "faced" Egypt's attemts to open a peace process here, as well as the flying of planes over Syria. Most westerners blow this off like, yeah whatever!... But it is a grave insult to be so undiplomatic, and rude, that will not be soon forgotton in the Islamic world. This type of insulting behaviour is the WORST of insults to an Arab. They have treated Egypt like a dog with their impatience. If Israel keeps up in this manner then it WILL cause a larger war...mark my words here! Even worse then the attack itself, is the disrespectful nature in which Isreal is acting toward Egypt and Syria. |
Malice User ID: 14553 United States 07/01/2006 01:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From my perspective, I see the actions in Syria and relations with Egypt during this operation as pre-emptive. One of those 'you really don't want to get involved in this' moves. I mean, Syria only fired on the Israeli F16s after they were already leaving the country...no one saw them coming in. I see it as a bit of a reminder back to the 1940's and 1960's, where these countries, united in cause, were unable to topple Israel. Have they gone too far? Possibly. They're taking large steps to minimize civilian casualties right now...they could have been A LOT more knee-jerk with the response. On the subject of language, I think you're spot-on. The term 'terrorist' has really overshadowed 'militant' and 'rebel'...but the term still does hold meaning to certain groups...some of which claim loyalty to the Palestinians... |
