For years, we in America have supported Israel both financially and militarily because we perceived they were the innocent victims of hostile and violent neighbors. The US media has, for years, provided extensive coverage of every incident involving Arab-against-Israeli violence. From shootings, to car bombs to suicide bombers, we in America have seen it all. Or have we? Why would rational human beings, given a choice, choose to attack their neighbors rather than live together in peace? More pertinent, why would a rational human being choose to blow himself up rather than live? The Israelis, the US media and our politicians would have us believe that the Arabs are simply not rational. They routinely tell us that Arabs are "religious fanatics" who "hate freedom" or "hate our way of life" to quote George W. Bush. These arguments are fallacious and intellectually bankrupt. The reason for Arab against Israeli violence is simple: The Israelis have been systematically repressing and brutalizing hundreds of thousands of Arabs on a scale unparalleled since World War 2. I have the proof. Below are photographs of the victims of Israeli violence. They depict brutal, violent death, horrific personal injury and devastation of property which is simply unfathomable. ALL of it was perpetrated by Israelis against Arabs. ALL of the victims are civilians. As you view these pictures ask yourself this question: What would YOU or YOUR LOVED ONES do in retaliation for these things? DANGER: SEVENTY-SEVEN GRAPHIC PICTURES OF BRUTAL VIOLENCE, DEATH AND INJURY. NOT FOR VIEWING BY CHILDREN OR PERSONS WITH WEAK HEARTS!
Hi lalalar So in your opinion, groups like Al Qaeda and others have nothing against the Western way of life with its religious and sexual freedoms - the reason they dislike the US is because the US supports Israel, right? If that is so, why do Al Qaeda attacks and other terrorist attacks occur in Spain, Bali, London, and other places where the majority of the victims are neither Jewish nor American, and where the country may not necessarily be a hotbed of support for Israel? Also, why did the terrorists who bombed the World Trade Centre kill so many innocent civilians and others who were neither Jewish nor American? Is it payback for all the Arab civilians that have been killed? I notice something very interesting about your post. There is one word which you do not mention at all, but it's a word that has everything to do with this discussion. In fact it is not Arabs that are being labelled fanatics. It is certain very devout MUSLIM Arabs. But you didn't mention Islam at all. Why is that? I have yet to hear any suggestion that there is a secular movement of Arabs dedicated to avenging the loss of innocent Arab life and righting the wrongs perpetrated by the Israeli/US axis upon Arabs. Lastly, would you agree that devout Muslims value personal freedom as much as we do in the West?
I don't think the purpose of the artical is to suggest Arabs are saints. We know they are not. THE POINT IS TO OPEN PEOPLES MINDS AS TO THE TRUTH WHAT THESE ISRAELI MONSTERS ARE DOING WITH YOUR TAX DOLLARS. Clearly dddooo and his ilk can not defend these terrible acts - but my guess is they will try.
Now this is a better post, much of which you are correct. However, when you suggest that 911 was in inside job using H Bombs you lose all credibility.
What would my family do? Help hunt down the Hezbollah terrorists who are causing the Israelis to bomb Lebanon. The general population are allowing themselves to be controlled by their fear of the terrorists. If you are a Beirut shopkeeper who has just seen your business fall by 80% because of Hezbollah (possibly being directed by a foreign country - Iran), you should realize that Hezbollah is not your friend. Your family should help bring the terrorists to justice. You don't have to suck up to these people who are working against your interests.

I would get on the side of the righteous! Quit laying in bed with the devil. Israel would love nothing more than a free Lebanon which did not allow terrorists to use their country as a staging area for attacks on a free and democratic Israel. To me there is every bit as much senselessness to the deaths and injuries of young Israeli men who are doing nothing more than trying to stop these beasts from dropping missiles on their homes and family. IF YOU EVER START SHOOTING MISSILES AT MY HOME & FAMILY THEN YOU HAD BETTER BE DAMN SURE TO GIVE YOUR SOUL TO ALLAH BECAUSE YOUR ASS IS MINE! And if anybody gets in my way they had better duck or run.
Really? I just re-read the post and there is only one mention of US financial support for Israel. The bulk of the post is devoted to 'Israeli violence', and to an apology for suicide bombing. Seem to me it has very little to do with the financial support issue. At least I can see by your use of the non-pejorative "Israeli Monsters' that you are trying to be objective and encourage reasonable debate. So many on here can't seem to do that.
