QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Mar 19 2018, 06:41 PM) However, Both the Irgun and the Lehi focused their attention on British military and governmental targets. Civilians were killed, but they were not generally targeted. The Jewish underground also often called in warnings before attacking targets, Palestinian terrorism, on the other hand, has been often indiscriminate and frequently directed specifically at civilians. So, one attacks military and one attacks civilians, who's the least in need of censure? The IRA did all of that. Are they alright then?

QUOTE (newres @ Mar 19 2018, 05:20 PM) I'm probably anti Israeli, but I'm not anti semitic. I'm anti Saudi Arabia, but I'm not anti Muslim. You get easily confused don't you. You're very confused aren't you. Confused and anti Semitic. We do however accept your claim not to be anti Muslim. That much is very obvious.

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Mar 19 2018, 06:50 PM) I guess that makes South Africa a rogue state. Nelson Mandela. By your logic. No, but then it doesn’t terrorise it’s neighbours or occupy territory illegally.

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Mar 19 2018, 06:55 PM) Technically is any nation not founded on terrorism? The old adage that one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter will always hold sway. The Romans had the Iceni to contend with, William the B*****d Hereward the Wake and the Hanoverians the Jacobites. History is full of conflict and the good guy didn't win every time. The problem is that we have not found a viable alternative to violence to settle our disagreements. Some of the vitriolic comments on this provincial forum show just how easy it is to get the red mist descending.

QUOTE (newres @ Mar 19 2018, 05:39 PM) Well you must be anti Israeli then since Israel was founded on terrorism. See - confused. I said I'm anti terrorist. I didnt say I wasn't anti Israel. I dislike ALL terrorism. You see. Its quite simple. Some Muslims belive it or not would cut your head off live on air and p1ss down your neck. Just like some white Christian evangelist might shoot you with an assualt rifle. Both would do it in the name of a sky fairy. Its just its far more likely at the moment to be a muslim. In my opinion.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Mar 19 2018, 07:53 PM) Twaddle; I’d be embarrassed to post that. Really, it comes from a very good source to whit, Daniel Kurtzer, the former U.S. ambassador to Egypt and Israel, who is the S. Daniel Abraham Professor of Middle East policy studies at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He wrote it as part of a critique of 'ANONYMOUS SOLDIERS' The Struggle for Israel, 1917-1947 By Bruce Hoffman So I have a choice of who to listen to, a celebrated expert in middle East affairs and long time ambassador to the region, or I can listen to you. Wonder which one has the more valid opinion?

It's a funny old world, Say that about Britain and the 'tards would be screaming blue murder, say it about South Africa, not a murmer.

QUOTE (newres @ Mar 19 2018, 09:36 PM) Possibly because it was totally random. Just as a matter of interest if this had been say John Smith aged 45 from Dover who spent a lot of time in lets say Wetherspoons and he had crashed his car into an Islamic wedding rather than a nightclub would this be not major news? Pretty certain he would be in Belmarsh already as a terrorist. I'm pretty sure its just someone losing "the plot" who just happens to have a Muslim name. But Im sure if it had been said "John Smith" newres would have been all over it like a rash.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-kent-43456736
