US troops are being terrorized by the Iraqi insurgents

when an occupying power is attacked? how is that terrorism??

when Palestinians resist occupation and kill Israeli soldiers, how is that terrorism?

! ignore the weeks of shelling by the Israeli army of Gaza

! ignore the deaths of more than 30 civilians, and dozens of horrific injuries, in the past few weeks at the hands of the Israeli military

! ignore the blockade of Gaza's "borders" by the Israeli army for months on end

! ignore Israel's bullying of the international community to connive in the starving of the Hamas-led government of funds and diplomatic room for manoeuvre, thereby preventing the elected Palestinian leadership from running Gaza

! ignore the violation of Palestinian territory by Israeli commandos who infiltrated Gaza a day before the Palestinian attack to kidnap two Palestinians Israel claims are terrorists. They have been "disappeared", doubtless to be be held in administrative detention, where they can denied access to lawyers, the courts and, of course, justice.

Was the Israeli army's incursion into Gaza a day earlier to capture two alleged Palestinian militants not an equal escalation? Was it not an equal violation of Palestinian sovereignty? Of course not. The BBC knows, as do the rest of us, that the army never really left Gaza and the occupation never really ended. But you won't hear that from any of its reporters.

educate yourself

But it is terrorism to kill civilians. Regardless of which side does it.

Or, more accurately they dont have US army uniforms.

Terrorism is what the brown people do. When we kill it's not called that. You're making the mistake of trying to apply some kind of logical or fair standards to peoples actions.

Personally, I think if you attack soldiers who are occupying your land and killing your friends and family then you are not a terrorist you're a hero.

To bryant69,
Israeli settlers are not civilians they are occupying someone elses country and building fortresses.

Nice slander of US troops. But, hey it was only when Bush got into office that Warfare devolved from Chivalrous personal duels...

Particularly the crap about a settler not being a civilian. What if the settler is a two year old? Still not a civilian?
