Reply #51: Ok, so the Palestinians are ahead on points [View All]

But did it never occur to you that perhaps the decision by Palestinians to embrace terrorism as a means of achieving political ends is an INSANELY STUPID idea?

Honestly, if the Palestinians rejected terrorism, they would be viewed much more sympathetically by the American public. And the Israeli's wouldn't have to undertake military operations in the occupied terrorities. But instead, they choose to specifically target civilians. In case you weren't aware, Americans don't much care for terrorist attacks on civilians, and they readily support a strong military response to such attacks. Perhaps that explains why, apart from the fringe left, the Palestinians have so few friends in the U.S.
