My friends I will say it again IM NOT AGAINST THE JEWS. I'm sorry if my comments on this matter upset any of you. My intentions were just to share some things I came across and discuss some points that I don't agree with. I no longer wish to participate in this issue because it starting to get on my nerves. Once again I apologize for upsetting anyone.

And I thought it was for the Virgins

Virgins? What virgins?

It is widely believed that Muslim 'martyrs' enjoy rich sensual rewards on reaching paradise. A new study suggests they may be disappointed. Ibn Warraq reports...

i think the only virgins will be them, in hell, waiting to be penetrated eternally by someone with a pitchfork.

Right, huh? It could be be 4000 years ago and we're watching folks throw goat feces at each other across the River Jordan...maybe Condi Rice should just haul her Steinway to the border and get everybody in a sing-along.

the "soldiers" kept by Israel are terrorists or someone associated with one and are kept there so that they dont either A) provide a means for a teen to strap a dynomite pack and blow up on a bus and B) so that they themselves dont do that same thing.

On the other hand the Israeli soldiers were not going into any territory they should not have been in they were taken from ISRAEL meaning Hezbolah crossed international border.

As was mentioned here Israel has a government and an army and its a nation accept it or not, Palestinians rejected anything given to them unless it was all of Israel, and choose or at least their terrorist government chooses that fate. There is no organized govt there is no one person to go against. Hezbolah is the same its not a nation its a regime within a country that hides in houses of civilians which when blown up are made victims. But no one will care about that fact, about the fact that palestinians raise their kids to go and blow themselves up to kill as many Israelis as possible, the reason i say Israelis is that there are plenty of Arabs in Israel they too suffer. but instead of turning on their own so called government to get them to stop terrorizing the Israelis, the only thing palestinians do is complain how Israel is restricting them. Let me ask those of you who think Israel is wrong what you would do if someone from another state came to your house kidnapped your husband/wife/son/daughter and left. FOR NO REASON except that they didnt like you and wanted your property because they feel its rightfully theirs. Wouldnt you go cross into their state and raise all hell and get anyone out of the way who might stand in it?

For all who are interested, here is some information on the first two terrorist groups to operate in the Middle East (during the 1930s and 1940s):

From the first article, a quote from the Zionist newspaper of the time "The Front", August 1943:

Neither Jewish morality nor Jewish tradition can negate the use of terror as a means of battle.
...
We are quite far from moral hesitations on the national battlefield. We see before us the command of the Torah, the most moral teaching in the world: Obliterate - until destruction. We are particularly far from this sort of hesitation in regard to an enemy whose moral perversion is admitted by all.
But primarily terror is part of our political battle under present conditions and its role is large and great.

• It demonstrates, in clear language, to those who listen throughout the world and to our despondent brothers outside the gates of this country of our battle against the true terrorist who hides behind his piles of papers and the laws he has legislated.
• It is not directed against people, it is directed against representatives. Therefore it is effective.
• If it also shakes the Yishuv from their complacency, good and well.

Only so will the battle for liberation begin.

It appears that history is not without a sense of irony.
