Re: The Child Murderer as Hero
by Chocolate Starfish

From the article:

"Samir Kuntar entered Israel on a boat from Lebanon and kidnapped a young father and his 4-year-old daughter. He shot the father, Danny Haran, to death in front of his daughter, Einat, then killed her by smashing her skull against a rock with a rifle-butt."

From the above post by Izak:

"Israel knows fully well that terrorism is helpful to their relations with the US, and thus their source of military budget. Every time some hapless individual blows himself up in an Israeli civilian area, or some pathetic, inefficient rockets land in Israeli land, Israel is allowed to fuel an overblown media outrage." (emphasis mine)

To those who feel comfortable playing the role of apologist for terrorists, please attempt to reconcile the disconnect between the above two quotes. Consider the past success of oppressed peoples such as the Palestinians in fighting their oppressors with the murder of children.

As William Diaz aptly said above about the Israelis:

"I wont belabor the point anymore, but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results."

I might say the same in reference to the Palestinians. See Mahandas Gandhi.
