Palestinians: Hamas founder killed in airstrike
ITW [the irish boy]:
Can you not see past this one killing? The killing of a terrorist makes him a martyr and helps breed way more terrorists.
For instance during the irish rebellion, the british executed the rebel leaders who where previously unliked, and they became instant martyrs and triggered the start of the war of independence. Killing a leading terrorist is just going to provoke an escalation in a war you claim to want to prevent. If you want to stop it, gat at the root problem. If the root problem is fixed (oppression), then, though you will still have a few random madmen, they will have no ground support and there will be a massive drop in terrorist attacks.
I'm sure you will come back and say "these exttremists care about nothing but killing westerners"...maybe a select few...but most have been brainwashed into this view by events such as this assasination, the iraq war etc, where their anger is used by terrorist organisations to be focused on the west. These kind of attacks are just fueling hatred of the west and making the world more unsafe. A different approachh is needed.

I just don't see how ANYONE could justify busses filled with innocent teenagers being blown up INTENTIONALLY...

NIK maybe their methods arn't sound but would any1 even care about palestine if they didn't do it, the whole world turned their back on them while israel fucks them over.
btw i dunno how true this is but a few months ago i read somewhere that the great israel breaks more international laws than any other country!
Don Seer:
its true.
they have broken and flouted similar UN resolutions like the ones the iraqi's have.
under the US's logic we should invade and set up a new government.
