Question

WHILE PALESTIAIN MURDERS ARE CALLED ACTS OF MARTYRDOM?

Answer 1

Why is it that Palestinian crude homemade rocket attacks ( or isolated evils ) are called terrorism ?

WHILE ISRAELI MURDERS ARE CALLED  ACTS OF DEFENCE?

Reigne ...you cannot "over exaggerate" you either exaggerate or you don't.

Ms Miche....Me & "the real world"  are  here to counter you & those with your views.

Sincerely,

Drew ;)

Answer 2

It is a massacre on either side when an innocent civilian dies. God does not accept to call it an "accident", "an act of self defence", or "martyrdom" or "terrorism". God only accepts MURDER. Peace!

Answer 3

The media always over-exaggerates things.  Thanks to the media most people think that Israel is full of terrorists and if you go there you will be held hostage and most likely never get out in one piece, when really some parts of Israel are safer than a western city.

Answer 4

Shalom Shlomo,

Only Muslims make that distinction.  The rest of the world, the real world, knows very well what Israel has to deal with on a daily basis with regards to Muslim terrorist groups.  That is why no one comes to Muslim terrorist's aid - not even other Muslim countries.

This is what we call propaganda.  They are actually convincing gullible people that martyrdom is justifiable given the circumstances.  Imagine, we are living in a world where Muslim extremest groups are convincing the misinformed that blowing themselves up and launching rockets is justifiable.  This is the general direction Islam wants to take and they are accumulating followers and momentum.

I am here to help make it stop.

Sincerely,

Ms. Miche ; })

Answer 5

Propaganda.  Anti-semitism.  The hatred bred of occupation.  Does it matter why?  The important thing is changing it, and the only way to change it is to negotiate peace so that there are no military accidents or terrorist attacks.

Um, Drew, I am the real world, too, if I recall correctly Ms. Miche is in the real world directly in the line of that terrorist rocket fire, unlike you or me living in a place where this is an abstract concept, and there is still a difference between offense and defense, in reality and in the English language.  Israel asks only to be left alone these past 60 years, and killing those who attack you is defense.  Whether it is the Egyptian army crossing your border or a teenager with a bomb approaching your children.

Palestinians do not ask only to be left alone with their own state, but to kill Jews.  Driving into a Jewish town and gunning down schoolchildren to make a political point is offense as well as offensive to all civilized humans.  Firing rockets into a town that is not attacking you is offense.  Get it?

There are plenty of gray areas here, there are some true crimes by the IDF and some true acts of defense by Palestinians, but if you want to think black and white, Israel is not all black and Palestinians are not all white.

Answer 6

Some people have an innate desire to hate Jews, so they use this as their opportunity.

Answer 7

It is an inbuilt hatred of the jews that seems to be drilled into muslims from birth wherever they live in the world.

It makes me sick that some who live in britain but are really pakistanis are amongst the most hateful. It seems they have a huge capacity for hate.

It seems that jews are always in the wrong (along with the USA) and muslims can do no wrong. Odd when they are busy killing each other in Iraq.

Answer 8

Because the world becomes irrational when it comes to Israel, and likewise the palestinians.

To put it simply....

Israel is always viewed as the bad guys

Palestinians? not so much the bad guys...

Who instigated the most recent lebanon war by kidnapping Israeli soldiers etc? Arabs

Who was blamed for retaliating? Israel

Insane eh?

Answer 9

Because people always want to pick on the Jews.
