Both are evil and wrong. In the end, the person killed is just as dead, no matter why he was killed.



True Bill but expand the philosophy a bit to more then just that example and that one person.

Your lack of compassion for the loss of life, and how you excuse any cruelty that is done on too The Palestinians is disturbing.


Not to mention you over all hatred that you represent for people you know nothing about.


The loss of inocent life on any side is a loss of life. That to me is a bad thing.



What I am tired of is your lame ass excuses for STUPID ASS people who keep habitually attacking others..

MAKE PEACE.. or quit fucking whining about what happens when you are retaliated upon from on high./

Some of them would just call the dead martyrs or maybe say, it's okay, he got his 72 virgins in paradise. :S

True. Just as some folks are happy that Palestinians are dying because they figure that all Palestinians are part of Hamas.

A paraphrase of something that Billvon wrote a number of years ago comes to mind:
Quote

War is the worst thing there is; atrocities we would normally condemn are OK, just unfortunate mishaps of war, or neccessary to "save american lives." Altruistic ideas like 'liberating the people of Iraq' will be the first things out the window when the fighting gets desperate. The lives of American troops will trump all other considerations.

Replace "American" with "israeli" or "palestinian" and you have it.

People rejoice over things that are horrific, simply because they think it's their enemy getting hurt. But those people they are rejoicing over, Israeli or Palestinian, have mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children -- even grandparents. And each atrocity makes enemies of all those people.

Rejoicing over someone else's misfortune is disgusting. Even if it means that one's "side" is winning, it's still someone else's pain and misfortune.

And which side of America do Israel and Palestine stand for? They're like divorcing couples who will do anything to hurt the other.

Making peace at the cost of being your oppressor’s prisoner is not an option and for anyone to think it is disingenuous at the least.

The fact that you think Israelis have just been holding peace signs and have never done anything that warrants aggression or anger is ridiculous. The fact that you excuse all the violence and make jokes about children dying while you sit on your ass at home is disturbing. The consistent hatred you represent for any thing and every thing Muslim is repulsive.

Sorry billy but you are out of touch with their lives. Thast the cop out.

Any time you have fighters sacrificing there lives just to hurt their enemy they usually believe some ridiculous shit. For the kamikazes it was considered dishonorable to come back alive. Dihonorable to live!
Believe it or not Muslim children are not born wanting to die. Yet in dealing with no hope, and consistent cruelty insane decision seem sane and even logical.

People are as good as their options.

My biggest issue is with the dehumanizing of Muslims or anyone, and the expectance of it. When ever a culture or a group of people look at other people and view them as less that’s when we have huge wars, war crimes, and genocide. That’s why I always find some posts very disturbing.

Give people all people more credit.

. . . is akin to making peace with people you consider cowardly terrorists. Is peace worth more than your pride? If it is, you'll find a way to make it happen. If not, the killing will continue.

Terribly. And telling them "but hey, your son was killed by people who really needed something" won't make them feel any better.





It’s almost as if you’er trying not to see my point.


The circumstance in a way a life is lost matters.

If my mom hears that I died skydiving a decision I made she would probably deal with it with less anger then if Amazon goes on a rage and kills me because I am Muslim or if a drunk driver hits me.


Have you not seem victims families when they feel the loss of life was someone else’s mistake?
They never shut the fuck up until they feel they have had justice.

I have a feeling that if someone killed you because they really needed money for drugs, your mother would feel no less anger. Even if they really, really, really needed the drugs.

Yep. And now we have two sides in a war who will never "shut the fuck up."

You know over the years it seems for some reason you understand my English better then most or you just can read my mind.

Thank you for that post. That’s what I don’t get. How can you rejoice from other people misery?

The difference between a Hamas fighter and an Israeli soldier.

Pretty much says it all, doesn't it? :P



Are they really all that different? I don't think so. The boy in this picture was a 13 year old Arab boy and was tied to the front of the vehicle as a human shield by Israeli soldiers.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3650791.stm

There are many other examples of Israeli soldiers using human shields.

I did some research on Hamas and,

Quote

Hamas' charter calls for the recapturing of the State of Israel and its replacement with a Palestinian Islamic state in the area that is now named Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip



Source: (yes I know its wiki)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas

How, exactly, is there ever going to be peace between these 2 groups of people (Hamas, and Isrial) when ones own "mission", as it were, is to completely take over the other's country?

I hate to say it, but this looks like a case of there will only be peace when one or the other group is completely wiped out.

As you have said before, Islam is a religion of justice, not peace. I'm getting the impression that there is no such concept as "turn the other cheek" in Islam. Is that a fair statement?




yes it is.

In Islam or my understanding of it is that you never do harm to others but you never allow any one to do harm to you as well.

Interesting article in the WSJ today. Hamas' charter actual doesn't refer to Palestine as a state. It refers to Palestine as an Islamic Waqf, or trust, "consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day". Palestine as an independent state has never existed. Hamas has no intention of turning it into an independent state.

Kids who grow up constantly running in and out of bomb shelters are going to hate their enemies. There's no need to teach it.

I'm surprised they're writing in English, though.

Gosh -- ya think the same thing applies in both directions?

> In practice, it devolves into an endless series of revenge attacks.

I would agree. Of course, in this case, Judaism has devolved into an endless series of reprisal attacks (which, of course, were brought about by the above revenge attacks.)
