118. FWIW
I for one think Colorado Blue is roughly correct in his/her characterisation of your post as a defence of terrorism.

You do not have "perfectly valid points" - no body in the world has endorsed the right of the Palestinians to engage in attacks on civilian targets - in fact, the UN has vigorously condemned such attacks in the sharpest terms, in every relevant forum (including the General Assembly and Security Council). In this matter the world body lines up with Human Rights Watch, Amnesty and Israeli organisations, as well as the ICRC - all the basis of international law.

I think you should think carefully about the Israeli victims of terrorism before you defend their murder, if for no other reason than you do the Palestinians themselves a great disservice by defending them with morally reprehensible arguments. Try reading the HRW report 'Erased in a moment' and see if the next pigua is justified in light of it.
