> As far as I know, Palestinians do not want to take revenge > on the jewish state, they just want their homeland back. > [Chedley Aouriri] ------------------------------ Ah, that explains blowing up buses and shopping centers, offing the Israeli olympic team in 1972, killing 23 children in Maalot, 1981(?), other sports. Has your knowledge included newspapers over the past 37 years? > By the way, how would you qualify ex israeli prime minister > Begin's and israeli foreign affairs minister Shamir's squads > in 1946-1947. ------------------------------ <1> Against the British, freedom fighting. <2> Against the Army of the Yarmuk and other Arab armed forces, freedom fighting. <3> Against the Palestinian population, terrorism. I leave it to wiser heads to decide where the balance lies. [Mine lies with terrorism, but I don't want to concede the point in public. The legitimate Jewish underground was the Haganah, which engaged in NO terrorism, and despised the IZL and Stern gangs.] > They accomplished several violent bombing, stabbing and killing > raids on the local population. ------------------------------ Agreed. I'll name the largest: Deir Yassein late 1947, wherein 250 civilians were killed. For $15.00 cash or check, can Mr. Aouriri name the PROXIMATE provocation? (Can Sinha, Raghanuthan, anybody?) > Was that GOOD or EVIL ??? ------------------------------ Must I answer in caps? eViL. > Please, do not accuse me of anti-semitism, anti-zionism or > anti-jewishness. ------------------------------ You're all three. You're not always wrong, though you work at it. [I rarely do what I'm told.] ( ___ Still trying to circumcise those "Jewish war jets" ___ ) ... hand me the diamond saw, Kobi. -- Oded Feingold MIT AI Lab. 545 Tech Square Cambridge, Mass. 02139 OAF%OZ@MIT-MC.ARPA {harvard, ihnp4!mit-eddie}!mitvax!oaf 617-253-8598
