-Caveat Lector- I guess an intelligent conversation is impossible with you, yet I keep trying.
What you think is the ONLY thing relevant in terms of this conversation. It's the whole point of having conversations. Nowhere did I defend colonial rule. Nowhere did I say Israel has carte blanche on behavior. I did ask you 2 questions, trying clarify, for myself and my own imperfect understanding of what you said. 1 - Do you believe a "end justify the means" philosophy of action? You seem to purport it, but I am not clear. If you do not, tell me what you meant. If you do, explain to me how that stance is justifiable. 2 - Can you give me an example of the Warsaw uprising targeting innocent civilians, children, &tc, as opposed to military targets? Without an example of such behavior I do not see how the Warsaw Uprising is like suicide terrorism. I would like to understand your viewpoint. You make these broad assertions, that to me, need some clarification. Simple declarative answers, rather than evasions would further this conversation better. I have also never met an Israeli who purported this idea of a "greater Israel." I have met a few asshole ultra right Israelis, who do think killing Arabs is a good thing. I put them in the same category as asshole fundamentalist Muslims who think killing Jews will earn them heaven. Neither seems to be the majority, but each group seems to have hijacked the politics of their country (much like right-wing Christian conservatives have hijacked American politics) - and not to either sides betterment. on 9/29/02 12:01 PM, flw at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > -Caveat Lector- > >> But you didn't answer my question ( the one that encompasses my > "senseless" >> point) - do you believe in that sort of "ends justify the means" > philosophy >> of action? > > Your question is childish.
