Actually, there would be no war if the palis would have just accepted the land and support that Israel has offered them more than once -- or if they had taken the state created for them in 1948.

The moral equivalence that you're placing on both sides is appalling in that it's no different than those who condemn both the arsonist and the fire fighter.

The palis fight not to gain freedom and statehood, which have been repeatedly offered to them, but to attempt to annihilate the Jews. In other words, they do not *have* to fight for survival -- and that's why your analogy is fatally flawed.

Another major flaw is that your examples, for the most part, don't explicitly target civilians, as the palis do. If you can't see the difference between ambushing soldiers and blowing up buses full of schoolkids and grandparents, then that's really quite sad.

But it's very big of you to not condone acts of terror.

I apologize if I didn't engage in ad hominems or any other type of personal attack which would have given you reason to shrug and complain that your opponents are irrational and engage in nastiness and personal attacks, but you just ain't worth it.

moral equivalence

Filthy words. *Wrong* words. Grr, how I hate the moral-equivalenciers.
