[terrorism] lord nazh has had enough - me too

Lord Nazh:

Fox news reports on new fighting in the West Bank between Israel and the Palestinians:

Gaza Strip — Hamas militants called Sunday for a fresh wave of attacks against Israel after troops killed nine Palestinians in weekend fighting, straining a five-month-old cease-fire.

It's extremely hard to strain a cease-fire that has not stopped any fighting yet. Of course this has never stopped the terrorists of Palestine or the MSM from reporting it.

In response to the bloodshed, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' more moderate Fatah movement urged him to consider breaking off contacts with the Israeli government, despite his pledge to the United States to hold regular meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Hamas and Fatah are partners in a coalition government.

One of the best things that could happen is that Israel stop talking to the 'moderate' terrorists. It does not matter what Abbas promises, the terror mindset is too deeply imbedded with Hamas and Fatah.

Among the nine Palestinians killed in the weekend upsurge of violence were two gunmen and a 17-year-old who died Sunday in the West Bank. The fighting also included a Palestinian rocket attack on the southern Israeli town of Sderot that damaged a home.

Israeli officials defended the killings as part of operations that have drastically reduced the number of attacks against Israelis. Palestinian officials, however, said that the deaths jeopardized their efforts to expand the Gaza truce to the West Bank.

Any peoples that are governed by violence and beholden to terrorists will find a way to have violence if they cannot get to their 'enemies'. These people deserve a home, but not a state. There is no way that they can seriously be considered 'humane' enough to be given a state (note: if they already had a state, ex. N. Korea, then they'd simply be a horrible country) of their own.

They simply cannot govern themselves. If the 'people' truly want a state, they will show it by getting rid of the terrorists. Unlike 'most' worldwide terrorism where the perpetrators are shadowy figures rarely known until they strike, in this land, there is common knowledge of who's who.

The Cityunslicker commented [modified for grammar and spelling only]:

I say this as a very pro-Israeli supporter. I agree with you in the way that [the Palestinian?] agenda is twisted; however Israel has achieved none of its aims recently and the lives of its people are blighted, as are those of the Palestinians.

My comment to CityUnslicker:

CityUnslicker, these are a people whose menfolk are off their brains - they're malcontented ne'er-do-wells. If they took a hoe and shovel instead of some Iranian weaponry and dug and worked and planted and grew and created a state with tourism and trade, that would be the best thing for their people.

But they don't. All they want to do is wipe Israel off the map. Really clever people.

They could well say that Israel and the U.S. would never let them develop their country - that the Israelis would always attack on some pretext or other, to keep the whole thing unstable.

So - try it. Make no provocative statement, fire no rocket into Israel, get on with building your country, with the eyes of the world on you and on Israel. Then you'll get your sympathy and support.
