re: #143 iossarian

I don’t think there’s much to be gained by comparing levels of atrocity. The IRA committed acts of terrorism. If they weren’t “as bad” as acts committed by Palestinian terrorists, does that really make much of a difference?

The point remains the same: characterizing an entire population as being in league with a terrorist group is not going to lead to a long-term solution, or even much of an improvement.

Obviously you can’t even say that the ENTIRE population of a country supports it’s own armed forces….

However a the citizens of the country must take responsibility for what their leaders do. The Palestinian people, as a group, have had many opportunities to show that they don’t support these murdering blood addicted leaders, and have again and again instead made the conscience effort to support them.
