First, my above statement doesnot say that "the existence of israeli citizens in the WB revoke their right of life" but it says "the israeli occupation of the WB revoke the right of life for some/most its citizens - basically revokes the right of for its military men". Clearly, occupation is an undeclared war; during war, attacks against military targets are fully legitimate.   Secondly, surely israeli have human rights, but they ask their goverment to protect it by withdrawing from the occupied terretories, not by further oppressing Palestinean human rights.   |>    What do you expect me to tell you, Master of Wisdom, when I did explain my |>    point in the post, that you "responded to".

So you agree that that an israeli solution wouldnot preserve human rights.

You said any could be used, then you provided a contradiction.

To never-never land.   You are proving yourself as a " ". First you understood what i meant, but then you claim you didnot so to claim a contradiction in my logic.

Why do you feel ashamed by things and facts that you believe in , if you were a Zionists. If you believe in Zionist codes and acts, well i feel sorry for you, because the same Rabbi Shoham had said "Yes, Zionism is racism". If you feel ashamed and bothered by the Zionist codes, then drop Zionism. If you are not Zionist, why are you bothered then. You should join me in condemning these racist Zionist codes and acts.
