it is only Hamas that has dismantled this Hudna? Have you not been following the lip service provided by Sharon and Bush. Is the wall in keeping with the roadmap, are the outpost in keeping with the roadmap. Look I was just admonished for talking like this in this thread. And magistrate is right this is not the thread but I wasn't the one that started it I was not the one to suggest that Palestinians were SO CALLED children.
The point is there is an occupation. That would mean that the Palestinians WOULD oppose it and that their resistance to it WOULD BE hostile. I realize this insurgence has not the course of the whole occupation, but an occupation like this is aggressively oppressive and would breed more ill will.
So the argument that young palestinians (outside of the militant groups) take up arms is insufficient. Of course they wou take up arms especially since the insurgence began, but it is not only armed children that are being killed. As for proof. Can we prove IDF is purposely targetting journalists. For god sake we have Naylor's documentary wherein there is film of journalists being targeted and still the contention is this is not on purpose.
IDF claimed Rachele Corrie was an accident by official rubber stamp. Please it is a matter of common sense. I do not expect there is written proof of IDF targeting unarmed children. There is always an excuse and a justification. However, I have more than once come across grossly bigoted comments made by a variety of Israeli leaders and Generals and we all no that when in stages of war all orders are not written but can be implied.
But since it seems I AM THE ONE being focused upon in here for being irreverant of trajan's post apparently I am seen as the aggressor here.
For the record I was not the one that suggested THERE WERE NO INNOCENT CHILDREN in the Occupied Terroritories. I was merely trying to point out that there are and rarely are they given front and center attention without demeaning their lives as less than the lives of Israeli children and as Magistrate has cast shame on me. I say for shame on that point as well.
BUT enough. Trajan's post is worthy of leaving it be.
