Suicide bombers are the appalling but inevitable result of decades of despair

Plus, the pay is great!

Saddam stokes war with suicide bomber cash ($25,000 reward for killing themselves and Jews!)

There's something wrong with the description of the writer:

The writer is a Palestinian journalist terrorist.

There, I've fixed it.

[dighton]

That damn word, as always: BUT.

[mewzilla]

After the first thirteen words, the rest of this article is a waste of that paper's column space.

Until their own death toll is well into the thousands, the Paliban will continue to pose for CNN while "reporters" ask Israeli how can peace be reached when they keep attacking "freedom fighters".

The IDF must get this Intefada War over with, including the great non-martyr Arafat. Utter destruction and a society bled white will happen, either to the Jews or the Paliban.

There are no longer any rules or civilians in this war.

[aimhigh]

in order for this to be logical, the author would have to explain why the Palestinians are not also bombing Jordan. Around 1920, the British split their Arab territory into two jurisdictions, one for Jews and one for the Palestinians. The latter was called Jordan.

Why not move the Palestines out of Israel territory? A population shift here would do wonders for peace. Did not Israel win this territory in a war?

The Germans were removed from Prussia after they lost WWII. I don’t hear of too many Germans strapping bombs on and blowing up Russians in Kaliningrad.

There is no Palestinian 'nation'.

There IS an 'Arab Nation', I suppose; it already is fragmented into a number of states.

So-called 'Palestinians' should seek a home in one of these.

Yasser Arafat has been forced by the Oslo accords to behave like a dictator.

Oh, so before that he was only pretending?

It occurse because there are people in this world who convince others that their lives have so little value that the only way they can increase its worth is to take the innocent lives of others.... It occurs because this ideology is now so intrenched that even mothers gladly send their sons off to die.... religion of peace my fat hairy backside!

Ask the Japanese why they had "Kamikaze" pilots in world war II?

The answer is that they were losing.Suicide troops are an end game pawn, the writing is on the wall and if Sharon doesn't pull the trigger, Netanyhu will.

Bump for future reference. I have a couple articles I want to refer readers of this swill to.

[tictoc]

The new generation has inherited seven years of fruitless negotiations with Israel, six years of the first intifada, 35 years of occupation, and 54 years of displacement.

Does this make sense? How can I be displaced from a place 20 miles away where I was not born and where I have never lived? Isn't it long past time to work to better my circumstances in the here and now?

It's not like the opportunities aren't there. What happened to the billions of dollars in development given by the United States and the EU?

Here's a couple links in response to this islamoidiot.

For the direct refutation of everything he says:

A Hard Rain

For those who want to laugh their a$$ off regarding the subject:

>Rat Fat Arafat

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The reason for this horrible trend is the build up of despair, hopelessness, and depression. The new generation has inherited seven years of fruitless negotiations with Israel, six years of the first intifada, 35 years of occupation, and 54 years of displacement. These accumulating tragedies have created the suicide bomber.

Screw-loose here doesn't explain the previous 1300 years of oppression for some reason.

Does anyone seriously believe Israel will accept full withdrawal to the lines of 4 June 1967 in return for full normalisation of relations with the Arab world? The Israelis would say that the Arabs are planning to use the future Palestinian state as a launching pad to destroy Israel. But this is not true.

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

Sniff, sniff.

Suicide bombers are the appalling but inevitable result of decades of despair

This statement is typical of those who attempt to portray terrorists as victims. The truth is that suicide bombers are terrorists who choose to resort to violence to further their cause. What these people really want is attention and nothing gets more attention than the indiscriminate murdering of innocent lives, negative as it may be, it gets covered widely by the media and thus brings their cause to the attention of the world. But only to the world that is tuned in to the media which lends support to their cause by broadcasting it twenty four hours a day seven days a week.

There are many people through out the world who are quietly suffering much greater degrees of despair than these despicable creatures and they are doing so with a measure of dignity and respect for others despite their horrific circumstances. People such as these are the real heroes of this world. What if a terrorist blew himself up, killing and injuring twenty people or even a hundred people and nothing was said about it in the news? In some people's minds, the idea of "going out in a blaze of glory" gives them the idea that somehow they are going to be memorialized through history and thus they can achieve in death what seems to them unobtainable in life.

Terrorists are evil cowards that believe the only way that they can obtain recognition and respect is through martyrdom.

Oh give it up people! Poverty does not breed suicide bombers! Period!
