Interesting that you write off one sides actions as being “forced” by the other side, but not the other way around. That’s a rather naive narrative to buy into.
Looking at that picture, what’s going on? The heroic Israeli soldier must shoot the crazed Palistine who shoots at him while hiding behind a woman and carrying a baby strapped to explosives. But what is the Palestinian shooting at? The soldier (um, “chicken or egg. . .”)? The woman hiding behind him with her child? Or is it something out of view - on the far right (hmm) side of the frame - something that perhaps neither the Israeli soldier or woman realizes is behind them and using them for its shield?
How about you leave the disgusting pro-war propaganda posters out of the thread as though they’re somehow “pro-freedom” because its Israel.
Hear hear. Without going further into the Isreal debate, the image is propaganda for a militarisitic and highly statist nation, nothing to do with freedom. Consider what the Isreali blockade of Gaza has done to the civilian population there, and weapons still get in, so what “good” does all that suffering get them?
I just thought it was interesting. Many people on here seem to make the Palestinians out to be oppressed little angels just trying to make a living. I think Newt was right.
Did Bin Laden claim responsibility? Are you suggesting that Bin Laden should have been tried? Who would have conducted this trial? Don’t you think the case against the alleged Israeli spy might have been a wee bit more tenous than the case against Bin Laden?
I’m also not against not having a trial, just when the government isn’t invovled.
