Reply #61: you don't think states do that?

someone was talking about Jenin earlier and as incredible as it is to watch that sordid adventure bandied about as proof of Israel's "purity of arms" because it wasn't conducted as wholesale murder it got me thinking about one of the people killed there.

The guy was in a wheelchair trying to get the hell out before he got killed and was crossing the street with a white flag sticking out of his wheelchair when he was flattened by a bulldozer, the remains frozen there in two dimensions white flag still sticking out.

Is he the Palestinian Klinghoffer? Oh, of course not, it had to be an accident and Jenin was some sort of "fighting terrorism" operation, right?

Klinghoffer was killed in retaliation for the bombing of Tunis which was supposed to be in retaliation for the murder of three Israeli's in Cyprus, Israel conceded that the people who carried this out had no connection to Tunis and kills about seventy people though they probably had connections to Damascus but Syria wasn't defenseless so Israel bombs Tunis. In what way isn't that terrorism? If it isn't terrorism for some reason does that mean that the Achille Lauro operation was somehow "counter-terrorism"? You are throwing around simple platitudes for a complex problem.
