 There are also many Jews who consider Palestinians as insignificant, lower lifeforms. God told them they (the Jews) are his chosen people and many Jews consider themselves above all other people of all the other races and religions. In fact many are quite bigoted, racist and discrimninate harsly against all non-Jews.
 Hmmm.....sounds familiar. Just like.......Islamic Extemists. Or Christian Extremists.
 What's the common thread, here?
 God told all of these people they were the chosen ones. Either god is extremely fickle, or god has a twisted and demented sense of humor and loves to play mean jokes on human beings.
 Of course, there are Jewish and Christian extremists who think they are superior to others, but Islamic extremism is the big problem today. In almost every Muslim country, non-Muslims are discriminated against and treated like 2nd class citizens. Arabs are actually part of the Israeli government. I'd love to see a Jew or a Christian try to become part of the Iranian government.Free the West Memphis Three

 But maybe some feel they have nothing left to turn to.

 Fair enough, Islamic extremism has been the cause of terrorist attacks throughout the world in the last decade or so....but those are due to terrorist groups.... (India bombings, Pakistan, 9/11, London bombs, Madrid bombs, malaysian bombs, Egypt, Tunisia, etc etc)....AND most of the attacks have actually occurred in Muslim countries
 The Israeli GOVERNMENT however, is one of the few "Developed" governments in the world which frequently launches such attacks. circumstantially i can see the reasons why, but you are really basing your generalizations of muslim countries on the few extremely Islamic countries.
 Most Islamic countries have so much in-fighting and civil war that theyre irrelevant for the purposes of the Israel argument. And yes, the Arab League would love to see Israel gone, but as ive already said, Israel made more and more enemies as time went on, and they dragged the US into middle eastern affairs.
 woudl you like it if Iran & Saudi Arabia funded mexico to try claim back the southern states?0

 Give the Palestinians billions in military equipment to form an army, and the suicide bombing will stop.
 It's kinda like saying stand up and fight like a man.
 And they will,
 And they can no longer be called terrorists.
 Funny what a little money can do eh?Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
 and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
 over specific principles, goals, and policies.

 you should it's pretty obvious what will happen.
 Also Osama worked for, and was trained, by the US govt. His credibility as the financier and "mastermind" of global terrorism is very questionable. He's not even listed on the FBI's site as wanted for 9/11 yet. Explain that reality.
 You inject cash, and they die fighting instead of fight by dying.

 I certainly don't think one man is financing all islamic terror. My point was, that using suicide bombing as a tactic isn't based solely on the lack of funds.Free the West Memphis Three

 Why kill yourself when you can move your finger an inch, and do the same thing or worse, and still be alive to fight again after?

 Notice how you say 'the "Palestinians",' and not 'the Palestinians who put their faith in Yasser Arafat'. If you're going to generalise, at least do it in a consistent way.Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.0
