Good. That takes care of your points 8, 9 and 11. There is no moral requirement to call off an attack because Israel has decided to put some kids there. Sharon is guilty of the deaths of these children

Not at all so.

They entered a house. Then they initiated an attack on one person whom they noticed after the next.

Every person killed is a seperate attack.

It's not the same as planting a bomb.

People like CyberGnu are the source of the ME conflict.

Luckily, Israel is a democracy so similar Israeli idiots are on the fringe of society. In Palestine, such people lead the Pals, fight for them, manage their money and educate the next generation.

Could this be the cause of your confusion regarding sources? You really don't understand when they are needed?


Well if you don't have a source, don't post it then.

You require the same from me.


*sigh*

*again banging forehead on Siros wall of incomprehension*

For the love of Buddha, at least try to engage your poor tired braincells.

I'll go through the original post slowly.


However, does anyone know at what age you are considered adult in palestine? Since they themselves apparently consider 15 year olds grown men, I assume they consider israeli 15 year olds adults as well.


does anyone know at what age you are considered adult in palestine? Firmly establishing that I don't know for a fact when a palestinian is considered adult.

Logic: If I don't know the answer, I don't have a source.

Since they themselves apparently consider 15 year olds grown men
Key word here is 'apparently'. Establishes that I'm not claiming my statement as a fact, only as an impression I have.

I assume they consider israeli 15 year olds adults as well.
Keyword: 'assume'. Again stating that I don't know this as a fact, only that I'm making an assumption.


Of course, ordinarily I wouldn't dream of being so condescending that I'd assume that one would not understand the difference between a fact and an opinion, but if you still don't get it, I'll make an exception for you.

If the kid is killed by accident, however, the guilt falls squarely on my shoulders.


Please explain to me, how the murder of children in examples 8,9 and 11 , is

a) NOT"deliberate"
b) a mistake

Well, source them then? You are making the claim that palestinians deliberately target children. So far you've provided one example (which I'll accept because I remember readin about it, although if we want to be strict there should be a source on that one too. It's up to you if you want to, I don't require it on that one). One example doesn't prove anything.

Source.

And I'd like the question of adulthood resolved.

If a 15 year old is considered adult, and these teens were 15+, then the points are moot.

That's because it isn't news. I'd say everyone here knows palestinian text books say quite unflattering things about the nation that occupies them.

Unlike you, though, we don't find it particularly suprising that a nation that is oppressed by another hates their oppressor....

End the occupation and it would be news.

Your logic is again false, since the attacks (terrorist attacks) from the territories, and other arab countries existed before the occupation of 1967.

They also existed before 1947.

1929 being the most famous example of local arab massacres of innocent jews.

The real reason for terror is that arabs do not want jews to be their neighbours.

In 1929 jews only settled on land bought, or on unoccupied land in mandatorial palestine.

This continued until 1948.

The terror and resistance started there, due to the arab's unwillingness to accept new neighbours.

Their claim that the jews were stealing their lands, is the same as racist white americans have over the hispanic immigrants stealing US land.
