1. They also agreed
Up is really down. Left is really right. Clear is really dark and in without a doubt is really out.

4. I think the person
in I/P who insisted that Hizbullah wasn't a terrorist group probably WAS there. Or, at least would have happily agreed with everything they said.

(I'm still shaking my head over that one!)

7. that's even wackier than calling it a "peace fence"
one sees all kinds of funny things in I/P.

13. all depends on how one resists occupation
if you use tanks and fighter jets to kill civilians
..its colateral damage
if you use cheap personnally delivered explosives
.. your a terrorist ...

14. collateral damage
collateral: Of a secondary nature; subordinate.


When the IDF kills civilians it is usually by accident.

When Palestinans kill civilians it is usually on purpose.

16. yeah I have a problem with that too...
Israel sees it as, 'Well, we're kiling this guys who is making bombs, so if we have to kill a few civilians now it will save more lives in the long run'....I don't know if I buy that.

Then again, this whole 'pre-emptive war' thing...I don't know if I buy that either.
