It is pretty simple. A carjacking is to steal the car, a drug deal is to buy drugs, but mines placed in public roads or setting up a machinegun pit to slaugher people driving down a highway is not a "crime" per se, as the motive is to kill someone at random to create fear in the general populace. We had, in the year discussed well over four THOUSAND such attempted killings. The only reason I responded to the thread is the obvious double standard the State Department is usings. Somehow, when terrorism is used against Jews, it is not terrorism, but when terrorism is used against anybody else it is. I do not know how direct you can get, setting up an ambush squad against some lady driving to school to deliver her kids, but some how, when it happens against Jews many times a day It is overlooked.
But the one case where you get a balistic Jew, it is never overlooked, and some how the 10,000 attacks in this intifadda alone is seen as a balance to the 1 whole attack by a nutcase. (Which by the way is quite a strange case as there are a lot of left-wing political groups involved in setting this one up).
For instance your comment on Jews shooting. Less incidents have happened in three years of this terrorism war than happen every single day over here by Arabs against Jews. But you like most of the rest fall right into the "cycle of violence" garbage. How can it be seen as a cycle when there are thousands of attacks every year by arabs and one or less a year by Jews?
Bias is a nice way to point out the clear agenda of the Pogram, something you are perhaps an unwitting part of. But the blood on you hands as you push this lie, still stains. At even a hundred to one perhaps you could be fooled, but at a thousand to one it is pretty obvious to anybody that this Middle East power struggle is simply the Arabs want to kill all the Jews and take all their land on their path to take all the world.
If you take the huge nation of Israel and place it in little bitty Arabia you end up with a whole match box in the middle of a football field. Seems pretty silly for Arabs to want to fight over half the matches, but for 15 nations, every one of them many times the size of Israel, it is all they talk about. Wiping out the Jews is their only goal in life.
By all means, ride in their wagon if you wish. All wagons lead to the Judgement day, but you might wish to start preparing your case now. I suspect it is going to be pretty hard to justify backing 22 police states with the worst historys on human rights in the world against the only free country in this quarter of the globe before God. I suspect He will not be amused. It is not like you have not been warned, He said he would set up Jerusalem as a stumbling block in the last days, and whoever would move it, He will cut in pieces.
Prepare to be sliced and diced dude.
Where the hell did that come from?
My view, just so you are clear.
I am in favor of a crusade to wipe out Islam and all its governments from the earth. I agree with St. Bernard that killing a Muslim in a crusade is a Sacramental and a holy duty to God. I despise every single one of the Muslim governments. The only people living among the Muslims that I like are the Christian Arabs (Copts, Maronites, Assyrians, etc.).
However, I don't hate the Arabs (and Turks and Persians), I just don't like their majority religion. I'd love us to drop a bunker buster on the big black rock in Mecca, or see the Ultra-Orthodox blow up the Dome of the Rock. Elijah would not have hesitated.
But I also don't carry water for the Jews, inlcuding the Jews in Israel, even though they are in a mutual anatagonism towards the Muslim Arabs. I am and remain a Catholic, so the Jews will never be my allies in turning the world to the way I think it should be, unless they convert. Same as goes for the Arabs and Turks and Persians.
You apparently operate under the misapprehension that one must pick a side - pro Israel or pro Muslim. This misses the possibility that some of us might be against both groups and only pro Christian.
