Just because other people are committing murders, doesnot give
Israel a permit to commit murders too.  I never say the Syrians,
PLO or even Lebanonians, be it christian or muslim, have any
rights to kill innocent people.  If Cuba, as a country, commits
acts of war against U.S., yes, U.S. has a right to defend herself,
even by counter attack.  But Leboron did not declare war or attack
Israel.  No one has rights to kill bystanders when he is chasing
after his enemies.  Remember the incidents of the MOVE in Philedelphenia?
The police claimed it was an accident that 5 blocks of houses burned
to level.  If the police chief claimed he burned down the whole
place to flush out those MOVE members, I bet no one would tolerate
that.

>"Palistine"? Or did you mean Palestine? At any rate, there is no such country.
>Unless you mean Jordan, which is 77% of Palestine.

Forgive my spelling.  Don't tell me there is no such a country and pass
the buck to Jordon.  What was there between Syria, Leboron, Jordon and
Eygpt before 1948?  Why are there Palestinian Refugee camps in Leboron,
Jordon now?  Where did those people come from?

I am not against Israel or advocating them be "pushed" into the
sea.  No, i am saying "all men are created equal" and that applies
to all mankinds, be it Jews, Arabs, or even Orientals (i am one).
Let us make solutions to let everyone live equally in peace.
