Journal Allen Zadr's Journal: Isreal: It's Not Terror Unless it's Arab 7
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, called the shooting "a despicable act by a bloodthirsty terrorist."
Families of Israeli Arabs shot dead on a bus in Galilee are not considered terrorism victims because their killer was Jewish, the defence ministry says.
The U.S. supports Isreal because
Seriously... they certainly don't believe in equality. Racism seems to be written into their laws. They take land from the lands rightful owners because some nearby* city once filed a 'master plan' that happens to include spreading over some family's fortieth generation farm.
There are a handful (only a handful) of countries that have worse policies and get away with it (meaning the UN doesn't get involved). Why is this? Just because the League of Nations signed of on the British Empire's mis-handling the task of, "prepare the inhabitants for self-governance"?
Yep, I really, seriously... I just don't get it.
* Nearby, in the case of a city's master-plan can be more than 50 miles from the city center. Sometimes more than 30 miles from the nearest city-suburb (as we say in the US). Just tear up the crops, put up barbed wire, post an armed unit, and drop a few trailer-homes, and it's "part of the master plan".

So, The Halocaust was performed by Nazis. Nazis are German, ergo all Arabs must die! Got it. It makes perfect sense now.
Thank you for pointing out how wrong I am. I am forever indebted to you.

They take the suffering of their own people and abuse the memory of those who died for political protection.
The Israeli lobby have done a fine job of spin doctoring..what's equally infuriating is so many anti-semitic scum use the abusive actions of the Israeli government to condemn all the Jewish people.
Your stuck between a rock and a had place if you ever try to criticise the actions of Israel in any public fashion.

seriously though, Sharon seems to agree with you, so at least on this specific issue it's not like Israel unilaterally is against this. On Israel in general? Well that's a debate for another time, partially because my opinion isn't concrete at this point. Probably cause I don't think I know enough of the facts to comment on it yet.

The question is why the Arab's act is considered a terrorist act. And that is probably because it is against the State of Israel, and is part of a plan launched by Arafat about 40 years ago to destroy the State of Israel. The Arab may feel justified in his action, but the state that decides what is considered a terorrist act (which in this case is Israel) will only consider cr

I generally consider any act of violence against a civilian population to 'make a point', to be - at best - terrorism.
By all means, had the Jewish man been attempting a robbery, or even in a drug assisted rage... If he were targeting an individual passenger for some ill conceived vengance, I would be inclined to agree with 'crime'.
For the Arab side. It depends. In some cases, the Palistinian people have been terrorists, in others they have bee
