Deputy Defense Minister Ze'ev Boim, addressing the issue of why much of local, regional and world terrorism is directed by extremist Muslims, asked Tuesday, "What is it about Islam as a whole and the Palestinians in particular? Is it some form of cultural deprivation? Is it some genetic defect? There is something that defies explanation in this continued murderousness."

Boim was speaking at a memorial ceremony for the victims of a bus attack on the Coastal Highway 26 years ago.

Can you imagine if somebody would have said something similar with
regards to the Israelis? Cries of "anti-semite" would have been
heard far and wide... :eyes:

1. racists

sure do love to talk about genetics don't they.

What an idiot - this guy is Deputy Defense Minister?? That is scary.

4. The funniest part is that the Palestinian's genetics are...

...virtually identical to the Israeli's genetics.

2. I am looking forward to hearing more of the Israeli government's views

on this intriguing question.

Has Sharon appointed a task force to explore a solution yet?

[Resistance]

6. a solution?

or ... experiments ... ?

7. "Final Solution"

I believe Sharon himself once used that phrase.

[Resistance]

8. pretty scary isn't it

3. Makes me think of the PNAC

and their desire to build a biological weapon sensitive to genetic information. No doubt they would work together with Israeli hardliners to exploit this "genetic defect".

5. US and Israel are joined at the heart, and engaged in many joint projects

some simple, some more ambitious.

All scientific endeavor requires a period of trial and error, try, try again.
