Debate: Can we use Non-Violence to destroy terrorism?
Side: A resounding YES!

"So why bother arguing with me. Never try to teach a pig to dance."Imagine if the US gave up when it looked as if the English were going to give you a good kicking."Saying that Israel did this and it was wrong and the Palestinians did that and they were wrong is a waste of time because you will always find someone who will justify those actions."This is exactly the point. Most of the things I read from you are justifications about why what Isreal is doing is okay. It's not okay. Both sides are completely and utterly wrong, but my point of contention is not your condemnation of the actions of Hamas; it's your justification of the actions of Isreal."You keep on trying to pigeon hole me into being and the side of Israel and against the Palestinians"Joe, come on now. If we go back over your debates are we going to find anything else but condemnation of Palestine and justification of Isreal. I've often seen you make statements such as "Well, maybe they should stop rocketing Isreal then" when something is said about Palestine being attacked, but I've never ever seen you make a statement like "Well, maybe they should open their borders and allow humanitirian aid in" when something is said about Isreal being attacked. You and I both know that you favour Isreal in this conflict, and you'll find whatever excuse possible to justify what Isreal does. Even the argument that caused this exchange; "maybe palestine can stick to the ceasefire" was said as justification for Isreal's actions, when in fact it was Isreal that broke the ceasefire (which you again went on to try to justify)."You try to get me to believe a poorly made propaganda piece and get offended when I don't sympathize. The official at the very end was not done talking. He was cut off in mid sentence after uttering the words the interviewer was looking for. The qualifier for the words were purposely edited out. If you really believe that dribble, then I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you."That dribble is actually a BBC article; probably one of the most unbiased and professional news organisations in the world. But of course, it doesn't agree with your idea of what is going on, so it's immediately brushed aside as a "poorly made propoganda piece." Get a clue.Here are some more sources, maybe one of them will tickle your fancy:http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/nov/05/israelandthepalestinians http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KntmpoRXFX4 http://www.imemc.org/article/58372http://www.antiwar.com/ips/ghariblobe.php?articleid=14014 http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,446805,00.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008–2009_Israel–Gaza_conflict http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=410_1230933573 "Also, if you expect me to believe that we should frisk little old ladies at the airport instead of young, middle eastern men, then you have an uphill battle. I'm all for profiling."I'm for profiling too. It make sense to manage your resources effectively, and the fact of the matter is that terrorism on western countries is normally performed by young muslim males. I don't agree with stopping and searching without a good reason though."The fact that I don't believe the tunnel diggers are good Samaritans does not not mean that I'm for Israel. It means that I really could not care less about the tunnel diggers."Okay. Then please explain to me, if you don't care about either side, why it is acceptable for Isreal to rearm but isn't acceptable for Hamas to rearm? Would it have been justification to break the ceasefire if Hamas had caught Isreali soldiers transporting weapons supplied by the US along the Gazan border? Would you have said "Well, Isreal got caught rearming; they deserved to be instantly shot." My guess is that you wouldn't, would instead use it as an example of Hamas terrorism, and would immediately condemn Hamas for breaking the ceasefire.I do enjoy the fact that your constant insistance that you don't immediately support Isreal shows that you know, deep down, that your views about the conflict are wrong. Always remember that the only difference between the Isreal military and Hamas terrorists is funding.
