[Ehsan]

An elderly shepherd, his wife and a nephew were attacked by 4 masked men ear the settlement of Susia.While an Israeli Human Rights Group has caught it all on Tape.The rights group, B’Tselem, said the cameras were provided to enable Palestinians to get proof of attacks.

I just read a report released from the Israeli government, stating that the settlers prior to the video had been playing cricket in a sandstorm, and were temporarily blinded. It was also stated that reparations will be paid to the Palestinian family by demolishing their home free of charge.

Oh well fights break out in that part of region all the time. I will say this if all they got was a beating thats nothing compared to the suicide bombers that Hamas sends on a regular basis to kill innocent woman and children in Israel.

So essentially what you're saying is shattering a middle aged woman's cheek bone with a baseball bat, is no big deal in light of the larger regional conflict... toss in the words Hamas.... innocent Israeli woman and children... and off you go.

Always a pleasure reading your posts.

This is a typical response. Because they are palestinians apparently the beating is nothing. If this was the same story but the other way around...Israeli's getting beat to death...it would be all over U.S. news and i am almost certain you wouldn't give that response.

As I recall from the article the beating didn't result in anyones death but suicide bombers almost always do. You have to look at from this way... the jews are surrounded on all sides by their enemy's and are always under the threat of attack so it is not surprising that something like this would happen. Tensions are high and obviously these particular Jewish citizens decided that they needed to defend their turf.

I will always air on the side of Israel since they are an ally of the United States. When have the Palestinians ever shown that they have any interest in being friends with the US?

You want me to care? Do you care? I have more important things to worry about in my own country like keeping a certain presidential candidate who's left of Lenin out of the oval office.

The woman you speak of gets to live another day... as opposed to the victims
of suicide bombers. You can't compare the two.

I'm glad you enjoy reading my posts.

I think your best bet would be to stand on the side of a very impartial humanity.

Care? who asked you to care?

bd77,

You keep mentioning suicide bombers, but you don't realize both countries commit violent acts that result in death. Not sure if you know this but...Palestinians may do suicide attacks...but Israel uses weapons and kills masses.

I guess you can choose to side with who you want. They both commit violent acts though.

[bd77]

I have a question for all of you. How do we know that the video in question is not Palestinians beating up other Palestinians?

Do we know for certain that the men behind the masks are Jewish?

[theinvestor]

How do you know those suicide bombers are truly palestinian?

You didn't answer my question but I'll answer yours. Palestinians have been sending suicide bombers into Israel for as long as this conflict has been going on. I mean who else do you think it is?

Just remember Israel doesn't attack it defends itself.

[theinvestor]

Please elaborate on that.

So you are trying to tell me the way you defend against suicide bombers is by terrorist attacks that kill hundreds of palestinians?

Let's not make this conversation longer than it has to be...but remember in 2006 when apparently palestine kidnapped an israeli soldier?

Israel then kidnapped 21 palestinians...and killed over 200.

I see what you're saying though...1 israeli life is worth much more than hundreds of palestinians.

Seems to me that the United states is exactly like Israel. In which an iraqi life is worth much less than an americans life.

So while you are at it...explain how going to IRAQ and killing innocent people ..has in fact helped us defend our country? Aren't we just being terrorists too?

Ever think about WHY? Or is meaningless violence your 'cup of tea'?

I like this quote too....you're right....people always survive getting hit in the head for several minutes with a big stick.

That violence is okay though and i am sure they were defending themselves!

I wouldn't waste your time trying to reason with this guy, he's a twisted Zionist. Ask him if Palestinians have the right to live in Jerusalem.

Hmm...

First of all, let me tell you that i don't believe in any form/kind of violence in any part of the world.


Suicide Bombers is bad and un-human, we all know about it. And all normal people like you and me call this "suicide bombers" an Criminal, Terrorist, etc. I agree.


BUT, why people around the world blame/held responsible all Palestinians (which includes, little children, women, elders, young.) for the acts of few suicide bombers. "I MEAN, HELLO, whole world & I don't blame all USA CITIZENS for the ACTS of USA PRESIDENT G. BUSH, who told lies to the whole world about WMD and went on IRAQ WAR which resulted in 600,000 Iraqi deaths"

See, this is a post about few Israelis beating an Palestinian Family. I agree its not good. But am not blaming all Israeli for the act of these individuals who Beaten Palestinians for reasons which god only knows.


At the end, we should look in mirror and ask ourselves, what we are doing to bridge the gap between Israel & Palestinians. Every individual has some kind of human-responsibility on their shoulders to bridge the gap between Israel & Palestinians.


If you don't like my views/opinions. you can do a favor on yourself, switch off your system, stand up, turn around and walk away
