The american revolutionaries would have been called terrorists.
So what? Hama's calls the United States terrorists. So what? American revolutionaries did not seek out women and children to kill.
Don't pretend like terrorism hasn't been used all over the world.
Terrorism has been used all over the world by terrorists! None of it excuses terrorists or their terror.
The US is still bombing funerals and weddings to this day.
Right. This is why you liberals are considered loony fringe. With the US, funerals and weddings are incidentals, not the object, as it is with Hama's.
Saying you won't negotiate with people just means that the conflict will only ensure conflict continues.
I said "can't", not won't.
True. A group of people who called themselves Israelites lived there thousands of years ago. That doesn't mean that the people who choose to call themselves Israeli's now are the same people.
How were they Jews then? You aren't making sense.
That doesn't mean that the people who choose to call themselves Israeli's now are the same people.
They are the Jewish descendants of Israeli Jews. What else would make them "same" people?
Is Jericho a fictional city?
no, that seems entirely unrelated though.
Just checking to see if you were going to deny everything from ancient Israel as "fictional", because there is still today a Jericho in the same place. Little harder to deny that line no?
if 99% of the people living in Japan were some other ethnicity, then it would no longer be Japan.
And when anti-immigration proponents say the same thing, you call them racists! But this is liberal stupidity. No people automatically "lose" their country because their ratio to foreigners gets small.
They decided to call their new nation the same name as the ancient one for publicity and to lend the state some level of credibility.
So "Atlantis" was taken then? This is laughably untrue. They had a real connection to Israel, and the UN knew this.
in tiny, virtually insignificant numbers.
The numbers make no difference.
The vast majority of what you consider Israeli's moved there since the end of WW 1.
What they themselves and the world considered to be Israelis.
They are almost all Jewish people of various ethnic backgrounds that moved there because of European backed zionism.
How did they get that ethnic background HB?
You cannot have "back" something you have never had.
Then from whence their ethnicity?
The US has, and continues, to engage in terrorism.
Whataboutism does not save your point or defeat mine. The Palestinians are locked up because they are rabid terrorists.
Don't pretend like they are somehow evil for using the same tactics america does.
It is your allegation that America uses terrorism, not a fact. And even if a fact, does not excuse Palestinians, but simply convicts Americans.
Do you have any clue why everyone in the world would rather live in America than in Palestinian? Even Palestinians?
are you aware that america has murdered millions of innocent people?
So what? Therefore terrorism is moral?
Why do you feel like they are evil for doing the same thing America did and continues to do?
Because America doesn't do the "same thing". Intent matters to morality. Placing a bomb in a school is morally different to hitting a school by accident.
The morality that equates America to Islamic terrorists is so absurd I need no defense against it. You moaned about Palestinians being in an open air prison, they are there because they are unrepentant violent terrorists. What America is or is not has no baring on it.
And morally defending jihadi terrorists and condemning America is as morally bad as terrorism itself.
