None of this means that the Palestinian cause isn't a noble cause of freedom. But the people who carried out these attacks deliberately killed children and pregnant women. They have earned the label of terrorists; Gawd, if you can't admit this then you should put down the comics and have a look at the real world.December 29, 2005: Three people were killed - two Palestinian civilians and an Israeli soldier - in a suicide bombing at a checkpoint near Tulkarm. The suicide bomber was apparently planning to target one of the many children's events taking place in Tel Aviv for the Hanukkah holiday, but was stopped at the checkpoint. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.
August 31, 2004: Sixteen people, including a 3 year old, were killed and about 100 injured when two buses in Beersheba were attacked within minutes of each other by suicide bombers. Hamas claimed responsibility.
May 2, 2004: An Israeli woman, in her eighth month of pregnancy, was shot dead along with her four daughters when two Palestinian terrorists fired on their car at the entrance to the Gaza Strip settlement bloc of Gush Katif. After the car spun off the road after the initial attack, the terrorists approached the vehicle and shot the occupants at close range. Fatah and Islamic Jihad claimed joint responsibility for the attack.
September 26, 2003: Eyal Yeberbaum, 27, and 7-month old infant Shaked Avraham were shot dead by a Palestinian terrorist who knocked on the door of a home in Negohot, south of Hebron, during a celebratory Jewish New Year holiday dinner. Islamic Jihad took responsibility for the attack.
May 17, 2003: A pregnant Israeli woman and her husband were killed when a suicide bomber detonated himself next to them in a public square in Hebron. Hamas claimed responsibility.

You found an example that supports your argument and then go on to claim that the whole has the qualities of the part and so condemn both.
I didn't read your article, the details are irrelevant to the point.

Suicide bombers should not be demonized. They are programmed machines. The discussion should be focussed on the terrorists doing the programming.

Superman conveys themes of helping others but at the same time risking the loss of anonymity. By helping others, you yourself can be targeted.

Re: What is Your Political Opinion of "V for Vendetta"?
And just what is your sources, Ian? From reading what you posted, it is a white washing. You don't even post the identity of the "terrorists" or even what their motives are. And I can bet you a big chunk of Palestinian land that these "terrorists" had their own homes stolen by Israelis and their own family members murdered by Israelis. Seems fishy to me.....AIPAC fishy. Looks to me that you want to make it appear that these "terrorists" were nameless, lived nowhere, had no home, had no money, no family, no relatives, and only existed for a brief moment in time. In short, you are a shill.Ian wrote:Really?PordFrefect wrote:A little emotive there Ian.

Re: What is Your Political Opinion of "V for Vendetta"?
Oh please. Is that the best you've got? These things happened - but you don't want to believe me because I didn't list sources here? Suppose I list them? What will you do then, keep your fingers stuck in your ears and continue to say "la-la-la-that-can't-be-true-I-still-don't-believe-you." Jeez, grow up already. These things happened.

These terrorists each have back stories I'm sure, but what do those matter in this context? I'd be okay with writing them off as the actions of crazed individuals without official support... except that they had support. Look at each of those passages: "Hamas claimed responsibility... Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility...Fatah claimed responsibility, etc..." Those organizations either planned them, or else they were the work of crazed individuals that those groups then proudly claimed as their own actions.
Gawd - you're painted into a corner trying to defend people who deliberately murder children. Give up already.
Re: What is Your Political Opinion of "V for Vendetta"?
Oh, Ian, post your sources already. Not posting them is plagiarism. While you are at it, post some articles about how Israel murdered 1400 Gazans. And you are white-washing the Palestinian narrative by not showing who they were and what happened to them to make them do it.
