http://www.wsws.org/articles/2003/jun2003/irae-j21.shtml Now, one of our (and therefore Israel's) reasons for not pulling out of Gaza and the West Bank altogether is that, by doing so, we (they) would be supporting and legitimizing terrorism as a political tactic. Anybody ever see the movie Exodus with Paul Newman? This movie dances around the issue pretty seriously, but definitely acknowledges that the Zionists used what would be considered terrorist tactics. Which brings us back to the freedom fighter vs. terrorist argument - It's purely symantic and based on who's reporting it as to which camp you fall in if you're fighting. But honestly, how can we support a nation that was established using terrorist tactics in a war against the people they've invaded? Than I thought about it a little more, and realized that the American Revolutionary War was fought using terrorist tactics, as well. I mean, what would you call the Boston Tea Party? Or the giving of anthrax-ridden blankets to the indigenous peoples? We are a country of terrorists who have convinced ourselves that we are freedom fighters and, even more disturbing, we've convinced ourselves that a difference exists between the two. I'm not sure if we have any jewish people on the posting board, but I do want to make it clear that I am not anti-semitic. While I have no respect for the Jewish faith, I also have no respect for the Christian, or Islamic, or any faith not humanistic in nature. I was accused of this today when talking to a co-worker about this stuff, and it really got to me: I'm sorry that 6 million jews were killed by Hitler, that is an obvious injustice and tragedy, but honestly, what did ANY Palestinian have to do with it? I think that if America feels for the Jewish people so deeply, why don't we give them Oklahoma? It's just a bunch of Injuns there anyway. ____________________________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 _______________________________________________ heads mailing list [email protected] http://ballistichelmet.org/mailman/listinfo/heads/ http://ballistichelmet.org/donate/
