Damn Israel (as a goverment)!
I am really really really angry right now and i know i cannot think consciously right now .But after reading the news about 60 killed people (37 of which are just children) by Israelis bombs , it only expands my hatred to Israel. Are these children too militans of Hizbullah? Sure Israel doesnt care Hizbullah or whatsoever. What they are doing is just killing Muslims. They used to do it in 1970s and they are still carrying on their vicious actions.How many people should be killed more to satisfy Israel? And despite the reaction of some countries, Olmert said today that their bombs will continue at least 15 days more. (and damn UN which cannot even condemn Israel-though 4 observers of them have been killed by bombs)
Now I can understand why some Muslims can be so extremist or terrorists or whatever (what the western world names them)
I am sorry if I have excceded my limits. But thats really what i wish. damn it!!!

I didn't get you brother, israel should be consider terrorist in this case and their civilians as well because they are with them.. Have you seen the extreme distruction of Lebanon on TV?. Remember it's not about the distruction or evilness of some areas or some places. It's about the distruction of the whole country, the distruction of the whole nation, it's about the extreme pain of muslims and christians in a very large amount.

Hello Anon
I didn't believe Ariel Sharon when he told me that Iran and Syria were "evil". And I don't believe Jingtian, when he tells me that "all Israelis are terrorists that would go to hell and be tortured forever".
That doesn't mean I'm an admirer of the Iranian or Syrian or Israeli governments.
Best wishes

But think of it this way, Jingtian. Suppose I were to say, "all the people who live in Jingtian's street are evil and demonic".
Now would that not be a foolish statement, and very unlikely to be true?
Then how much more unlikely is it, that all the occupants of a whole country are "evil and demonic"?
Very much more unlikely, I would have thought!

Maybe I've made a overgeneralized judgment.
If one day my motherland should use forces against any country or deliberately kill civilians or bomb UN observers but no one in my country objects it or tries to stop this, it would be OK for you to come to such a conclusion. Then I wouldn't hate you if you should say so.

Well, I would have to disagree. It seems to me that a state of mind in which one is capable of demonising a whole nation or a whole people or a whole culture is part of the problem on all sides of the conflict. It certainly isn't part of the solution.
(But that's only my opinion, and of no importance whatsoever.)

It is obvious that you are partial to the Israelis, just because Israel, US and Britain are allies?
Britain is said to behave like a *** to the US, as it agrees everything with the US. It never dare not say no to the US.
(I didn't say it, but I've heard this analogy several times before.)
Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. Wickedness does not go altogether unrequited.
I won't reply to this thread any more.

Hello Jingtian
I don't have any particular reason to be "partial to the Israelis". If someone were to call all Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, Quakers, black people, Muslims, redheads, or one-legged Norwegians over 40 with chronic halitosis "evil" or "demonic", I would have similar reservations.
But thank you anyway for an interesting discussion! Best wishes MrP

I find the action of both sides abhorrent. Neither side is capable yet of observing a ceasefire, for one reason or another. The killing should be stopped immediately and it certainly must be a lasting peace.My question is does either side want it and how is the UN to enforce it ? I hope and pray a solution is found as too many are suffering especially the young and innocent.Regretably Blair believes in what he says he is not mouthing Bush's words.
