Please do not use you imagination to fill in the blanks:
You, and others who have mysteriously morphed from Right to Left, see the so-called Palestinians as "justified" in their reactions to the Israeli so-called "oppression." Yet my ancestors, who truly were oppressed, did not resort to violence as a means to an end. If they had done so, I wouldn't be here today.

You do not know if I have 'morphed from right to left'.
I have never posted to this board before today, and in none of my points did I state I was 'left' or 'right'.
If you are of the belief that not agreeing with the party line on every issue means a person is some sort of 'traitor', you should join the socialist party.

The fact that you cannot see the parallels demonstrate empirically that your take on this situation is indefensible.
I can see parallels, but by leaning completely on this as an arguement you ignore the differences in both the slave and colonial cultures that would preclude strapping on bombs. Not to mention availability of technology and materials.

And, for you edification, violence perpetrated by slaves against masters did exist. Hence laws that prevented congregations of more than 5 slaves in a particular area, curfew laws, etc.

I most certainly do. You either morphed, or, were always on the Left.

I loathe the Left. Wait. Loathe is too nice a word. Anyway, I dispise the Left, so, I'd never be a socialist, communist, or any other thing associated with the Left.

Correct! Even still, violence was not a viable option, was it? If this was the case, why is it somehow "justifiable" for the Palis to use it? Like I said, right is right, and wrong is wrong. The Palis are absolutely wrong.
