<Well, we have been bombed a few years ago: Antwerp has known 2 terrorist attacks; Paris has had a wave of terrorism in 1986;
Both western countries, western values, how much does france support Israel? Not much. But they are a very prolific western culture.
Russia (Moskow) has been under terrorist attacks.....
Chechnyan rebels trying to split off a province. We aren't having trouble with Chechnyans rebels here. ;-)
And we are used to having to be present at the airport 2 hours before take off. Normal procedure.
And the main reason is of course the US unilateral support of Israel (certainly perceived as such).
you mean some people preceice this as the main reason or that the unilateral support is perceived?
If I were a terrorist bombing a country because of their israel support, I would bomb the country offering israel support. . . right? why would I bomb someone else? Now if I were to bomb countires because they are proliferating western values that I hated. . . then I might target countires like USA and france.
I remember Arafat saying the PLO chart signifying the destruction of Israel is "Null and Void" or "Caduc" in french, which he also used. The PLO had recognized the State of Israel (Israel of before 1967).
Now, Arafat could help the US in any way it wishes (contrary to the Gulf war time when the PLO joined Irak) in the hope that the US will return to the peace negociation process.
Actions speak louder than charts or words and recognizing states. When the chacka hit the fan they sided with Iraq, and this shows who/where their loyalties really lie.
