<Now, in their war, with their territory being invaded for years and years and years, in spite of written agreements, in spite of the US and UN asking Israel to stop, the Palestinians used suicide bombers. Their only weapon against such aggression, really.

Arafat also signed written agreements not to build goddamn bomb factories, terrorist training facilities, and illegal weapons armories in the autonomous territories he was given in the last settlement. How come he never gets any grief on this?

And I'm sorry, but I still have trouble drawing an equivalence between Jews building a house on Palestinian "territory," and Palestinian bombers deliberately blowing the guts of Jewish kids across restaurant walls in Israel. Maybe it's just me.

Suicide bombing is not their only weapon. Never has been. Many people have commented on this board about the nonviolent alternatives that would not kill anyone and would probably be far more effective.

The Palestinian terrorists LIKE killing Jews. They go out of their way to kill Jews. They are not interested in any alternative to their goals which does not involve killing Jews. I have posted Palestinian writings which say as much in so many words. I can post it again if you like.
