Please explain the suicide bombings that have occurred in India, and then explain the dearth of same in Tibet. Tibet is occupied by the PRC, yet, because there are no Muslims, there are no bombings or attacks of any sort. Perhaps Israel should take notes from the PRC how to achieve this.

When was the last time a palestinian contributed to humankind? rose a smile and hope on the face of achildren? found cure to a disease? created inspirational music, art, science, phylosophy? According to you, you just want death and death and death...do you really believe that G_D almighty will let you be at his side? I think that's EVIL

the suicide bombers are the reasons for the military occupation not the opposite as you would like us to believe. Simple: no terror, no occupation!

India and Africa were connected a long time ago and we are all happy with that. But,obviously some comdedians don't like that.We saw a racist comedian publicly insult the African community in the U.S. But he did apologise . . .

It ain't going to happen Daniel.It's frustrating isn't it ? With all your military hardware you still haven't defeated those people. And you won't.

The Japanese did the very same thing flying planes into ships during WW2. This is copycat religious martyrdom, just like the Hiro Hito lovers of Japan's past. No one did anything to Japan. Japan slaughtered whomever suited them. When they started to lose the war....they chose suicide bombers to sink ships. A nuclear bomb sure puts a stop to bloodletters like the Arabs and the Japanese. One day Israel might give them to much of a good thing. Damona wasn't built as a tourist attraction.

out the 72 virgins are nuns!

Human Sister Vijaya, Kindly do a little reading of your own, and you will find that, contrary to your assertion, the conflict over and in Palestine and Israel is not "the longest one in modern history." Indeed, your apparent dismissal of territorial and social-cultural disputes and conflicts in, say, Northern Ireland, Tibet, Kurdistan, and various parts of the African continent, to name a few, expose your own "racism" or at least a degree of ethnocentrism or ethno-favoritism. As for check-points and expulsions, admitedly, many people have suffered and should not have - on all sides. Would you grant, however, that all nation -states have "check-points" (just try driving from USA into Canada or from Jordan into Syria); if Palestinians want self-rule and sovereignty, they will have to deal with check-points, as will Israelis. Regarding expulsions, how much more credible you would be if you also attended to the injustices of Jews who were expelled from their land following Israel's declaration of independence (land on which some had lived for much longer than there has been Arab nationalism or even Islam - remember that there were Jews in living in Medina long before the life of the Prophet). Also, we don't hear you decrying the fact that Jewish people were not just expelled from these areas, but also are flatly denied citizenship or any kind of in-state representation by quite a number of Arab and-or Islamist nation-states. Would you support full citizenship and enforced equal rights for Jews in Palestine or does your mindset condemn discrimination when it is enacted by Jews but condones it when it is enacted by others against Jewish people?

Proverbs 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love Death.

It's a tragedy that people do this. Muslims can talk about how great it is, but the eyes of the suicide bomber (the windows to the soul) say differently...

The earth is heavily populated planet, not able to sustain its population, hence anxiety and unrest is the result. People will commit suicide, kill each other, rape, murder, mass-murder, child-abuse and so on is bound to happen. Solution is to reduce population, by self imposed sterilization by masses, or by any other population reducing methods.

During 1948, Arab radios were constantly broadcasting for Arabs and Muslims living in this area to leave their houses, because (they promised) to through all Jewish men and boys living here will be pushed to the sea, and (they further promised) then original Arabs living in this area can return and share women and property of Jews who were drowned in the sea." On the other hand Jewish nation was appealing Arabs "not to leave." Tapes of these broadcasts are available with the Government of Israel.

I am sorry Vijaya, your history is halfhearted, and your study is incomplete. Vijaya, by your name, you are an Indian, living in a large country like that you will not understand what national security is! For that you have to live in a country where boarders are on ½ hours drive from any spot! And you are within the reach of crudely made rockets. Your neighbors are jobless and financed by richest nation on earth, and encouraged to murder us by world’s largest terrorist organizations like Al-Qaida, Hizbullah, Iran and Palestinians themselves. I invite you to live in Israel for 10 days just for experiment and first hand experience of it all.

I'll keep this brief: jemima: checkpoints between two sovereign countries like U.S. and Canada,yes,but not if someone imposes it within my country and that too by a foreign power. The Palestinians have had a continuous presence since ancient times.Remember the Philistines ,the Cananites and other tribes and the Hebrews who fought each other. Daniel, since you write from Israel I am assuming you are an Israeli.Do read your own 'new historians' who have dispelled some of the myths about the Arabs and who have placed the blame squarely on Israel. Benny Morris,Ilan Papper to name only two. Israel should first withdraw from the Occupied territories and the two countries can live in Peace,but not before that.Peace has to be accompanied by Justice. A previous caller observed correctly that there is no terrorism in other countries,only in the 3 occupied countries Palestine,Iraq and Afghanistan. Daniel,do consider the situation of the Palestinians.Israel has not done that badly,relatively speaking.And there was an admission recently by Israel itself that rockets hit their military installations in the North. Everybody knew that,including Hizbollah and hence the rockets were not fired in at random. Do live in Peace and your Rabbi's article does not contribute to that. It just perpetuates racism and war.

My point was that China is merciless when it comes to dissent, while Israel has been full of mercy. Not surprised you didn't see that, but then you probably think the PRC is lovable. Even though they force women to have abortions, and practice infanticide. What must be frustrating for you is Israel's continued existence as a Jewish State. Prepare to be frustrated beyond belief, forever... Besides, I love watching the Malthusian theories playing out in Gaza in Real-Time, don't you, Sara?

Won't bother with your side shows. Your central point as you yourself describe it:China is merciless,not Israel. They tell fairy tales to children! As for the Jewish State's (your words,not mine) continued existence, no problem. The problem is the Occupation.Israel withdraws and then we are talking.

Check your rose-coloured glasses at the door, dear, you failed this test. If the Occupation was the Arabs only problem, then you must explain Tel Hai in 1920, the Hevron Pogrom of 1929 (among others), the assaults of the Arabs on the nascent Jewish State in 1949, and the continual attacks on the Jewish State until 1967. Any ideas, Sara, or are you ready to throw away the mental Burka that your friends, the Arabs, have clothed you in? A clue; has to do with people being Jewish, not Muslim...

What about the bombing in Bali,Indonesia? What about the attacks by Moslems in the Philipines, Thailand and China and the antisemetic attacks by moslems in Europe, and demands of Sharia law in non Moslem countries. When in Canada 17 suspected terrorist were arrested for threatening the life of our Prime minister, on one of the talk back radio programs a moslem had called in and said to the host" Don't worry Sharia will be the law of this country soon." I' tired of all your bitching and twisting of truths.

i think the base of it is to defened the life by death .. and it is not a new philosophy .. it is so old .. befor someone was burning himselfe to let the others defend or notice some unfair ,, simply it is the cause ... but what it is doing with the religion ... iam a moslem i do read my holy book .. god aske the people to defened their life religions and rights ... godreplied bni israil ,, when they said that they would defened the religion with their souls ,, god know that they would not not becouse they are jews but becouse they are humans ,, and people always like the life .. so god said i think you could not as all ,, if you were true kill yourselfe as all ... this is not an order ,nor a chalange it is becouse god create us and knows about what he is creating .. it is the fear of death ,, and god wants the people to defened their lives without fear ... the same when god aske the moslem about the jihad god say to the moslems you feel it so hard and you feel so heavy to rapped yourselfe to the earth .. and you think it is the death .. but you would die if you were in your houses with any other cause .. it meanes god like the people to defened their rights courgly without fearing of death ... but sure there are somepeople do not understand it have no patience hurry for this suicide bombing which is unfair ... but also all these wars are unfair ,, and against god orders all is done against the innocents .. it do not acuse the suicide bombings but it make it the same as they kill us we want to kill them in any way ... lastly no mother like the killing of her son ,, and if the mothers know befor they would prevent their sons ,, not becouse it is forbidden from god or they like the israili ,,but becouse they like their children ... but after the death of the son .. the mothersn or the society like to say it is for the sake of the nation ,it is for the sake of the land ,it is a part of jehad ,,, truly it is the cause that lead these youth to rush for suicide bombing .. and the mothers accept it after the death of the children as honore .to make it light about losting the life of the children

To judge from the historical record, those who love death shall be given their hearts' desire by those who love life. The iron rules of life shall not bend to the neurotic needs of an amnesiac rabble. Your kind will come out chastened from the ordeals you impose upon the world...if you make it out alive...

one araby poet said [the taste of death is the same if you die for a small tiny purpose or for a greate purpose /// it is a poem no more .. but i like to say that the tast of life is better when you live for a greate purpose .. and the palastinians must live for this greate purpose to get rid from ocupation .. it is the wisdom to my brothers and sisters .. but sure if the death is with the hands of the idf it is a death for a great purpose to defened staying on this land .. not runing from this unfair ocupation
