It wasn't the Hamas nor the Hezbolah that did the 9/11, but it is true that the men who did that were inspired by the conflict between Israel and its neighbours.

If you say that an organisation that kidnaps a few people should be destroyed even if it means the death of innocent civilians... maybe you should try to put yourself in a Palestinian's shoes. What will a Palestinian or a Lebanese think? Perhaps that Israel is a terrorist organisation and should be killed at all cost, even if it means the death of innocent civilians.

It is the situation right now: both party claim they are in their full right. Both Israel and the terrorists refuse to hear any opinion that is not theirs: if someone tells them that they are wrong, the Israelis say "you are an enemy, too!", and so do the terrorists. If there is a heaven, many criminals and victims will realize there that they lived and killed and died for a wrong ideology. Simply because they were too stubborn to listen to independant people. How sad is this?


What is interesting in an international forum is the sharing of ideas, and the possibility to take distance from one's own environment.
In Israel, you probably aren't exposed to some of the very radical anti-Israelian ideas. You probably don't see many people who think that both Tsahal and the forces it fights are being criminals. Use this forum to see how we foreigners see the conflict.

To do this, you will need only one thing : an open mind. Don't call the ideas of those who disagree with you "pitiful", and your experience here will be great
