IceBlaze, you talk about 'putting pressure on the community'....

Jesus H. man, you go after the guilty.....punish the guilty. Fine.

But if you fail to see the moronic irony in what you say then I feel for you.

Cuz, uh, bro? That's what terrorism IS for Pete's sake.

Palestinians insist on their own barbaric methods to pressure the Jewish community.

You people over there....sheesh.

All I can do is shake my head.

When I said putting pressure on the community I meant pressuring the palestinien authority, not the palestinien people.
Just used the wrong word, I'll fix that now

So because the PA represent a community we can't fight their attacks? Again, you're not saying anything really. Are you saying Israel shouldn't responde to the PA attacks?



"Ceasing any of one's own side's UNLAWFUL acts is a DUTY, not a negotiating point, whether or not the other side also has unlawful acts to abate. When one is criminal scum, he shall not get any help or pity from me, even if his opponent is a worse criminal scum."

I don't see anything unlawful about Israel's actions.

From what I've seen, it seems like the international community can only pick on smaller nations.

U.S. war on terrorism? United States, major power.

China building missiles pointed at Taiwan? China, major power.

Russia sending troops into Chechnya? Russia, major power.

Isreali defensive against defacto leader Arafat? Wrong! Boo Isreal! If Isreal was as powerful as China or Russia...well, the EU would shut up.

By the way, Arafat was about as democratically elected as Fidel Castro. A Palestinian electoral ballot would probably look similar to this:

[_] - Yasir Arafat
[_] - Death

Anyone care to dispute?

Actually the EU has critizised Russia for years because of Chechnya.
Since Sept. 11th that critizism somehow got much more silent...

Switzerland currently has the hightest number of (reported) anti-semetic hate crimes in western Europe, and it is a small country.

where did you get that? i am swiss, and i hardly ever hear anything about anti-semetic hate crimes. we got our share of f***ing nea-nazis, but i don't think there are that many racial hate crimes commited in switzerland.

Reuters news agency quoting some reporting compliation from the EU about 3-4 weeks ago. It is reported crimes only, and icludes all levels of seriousness without weighting them, the large majority of them vandalism and grafitti. Without breaking this part down by area, it said the many of those arrested were resident and immigrant Muslims. I do not have a link to the story from about a month ago.
It is possible that their is some feeling of revenge in Switzerland for all the bad publicty, blown out of proportion, with regard the the various actions against Swiss banks by Holocaust survivors and descendants. It is also likely that the Swiss are better at catagorizing and reporting hate crimes than EU average.
