James M. ,   Seattle, USA   (07.22.06)
ISRAEL IS DOING GREAT IN LEBANON. LET HEZBOLLAH GO TO HELL ALONG WITH ALL THOSE WHO THINK JIHAD IS WORTHY OF HUMAN THOUGHT.
32. to29
robert (dutch I.A.F)   (07.22.06)
your really arent the brightest candel on the stick are you thay live with over one million arabs inside israel thay make good business go to good schools own there homes have freedom to vote if life was so bad for them thay would turn against them but thay dont. thay have a better standard of living than most arabs in arab countries, and more freedom. i was in israel for 3 years im not jewish i went with a chip on my shoulder after reading all the pro arab crap i was given before my trip israel arabs are afraid of appearing dissloyal to there brothers but in truth most have a better life than before.
33. Don't realize you're telling my same words?
Gianni ,   Savona, Italy   (07.23.06)
Robert, I never said Israel is oppressing its arab citizens, and I agree: what you say is right. But I rejected the conclusion that the only thing to do is the war to the other neighbouring arab people. If Israel would manage to let palestinian live in their (little) country, with the freedom, the services, and any other benefit that its arab citizens enjoy, are you sure that it will be necessary to make continuos wars on a surrounding enemy?
34. "killing the " terrorists"
amir ,   BROOKLYN, NY   (07.27.06)
hi shafiq:i know we can argue for ever re, the definition of " terrorist - " freedom fighter". the faact remains, however, that the one who by DEFINITION, resorts to harming civilians, is a.... terrorist. no matter what his / her agenda is. anyone who CANNOT sit & talk ( yes, like president clinton tried to make happen in camp david!), is simply doomed, can't participate in normal, acceptable discourse, is left out, & will continue to live by the sord, as he has been doing for millenia. what is happening in iraq is MUSLIMS KILLING MUSLIMS. is that civilised? if you say yes, then tell me what civilization is it ?
