To: American in Israel
That is the one thing I don't understand whenever I engage in these debates. How the Palestinians' violence is excused or rationalized because Israel deserves the terror because it "occupies" Palestinian land.

Most Palestinian apologists have no understanding of the history of the region, or the political goals of the Palestinians.

The PLO was organized in 1964 - 3 years before the Six Day War - to wipe out the Jewish population in "occupied territory". Anyone who can read and comprehend understands that the PLO was talking about Israel proper.

That political goal has never changed. Arafat and his top aides make no secret that they will use any territory Israel will retreat from to launch attacks against Israel proper.

Yet, the terror is excused. Yet, the violence is apologized for.

There is nothing heoric about a suicide bomber, or a terrorist. They are murderers.

I wanted the documentary One Day In September about the Olympic massacre. The director interviewed one of the terrorists. The terrorist was crowing how he went into the Olympic village to avenge the plight of the Palestinians. He talked about his courage. How this lowly Palestinian was going to strike out at mighty Israel.

Let's see... 8 armed terrorists with bagfuls of grenades and machine guns, break in and hold captive 11 sleeping, unarmed Israeli athletes.

And the Arabs think the terrorists are brave!

It is the epitome of cowardice. Just like in a fight, when two guys hold a guy while another guy beat him senseless.

Furthermore, the terrorist then begins to bemoan the fact that he has to live in hiding because the Israelis were still looking for him. It made him feel like an animal.

My reaction was, "you are an animal."

The Palestinians are not heros. They are not freedom fighters. They are not liberators.

They murder kindergartners in their class rooms, infants in their carriages, students in their schools.

They are murderers, thugs, and common criminals who do not deserve a state. They deserve a trial, a jail cell, and the death sentence.

rant off!

The Israeli's also used terrorism to establish their state. I don't blame them for it - every people has the right to defend its existence by whatever is necessary. And to the victor goes the writing of history.
