War is murder.
There is volumes of history books on the subject of warlords, gang leaders and terrorist chiefs, the people that make most of the violence happen. It's not like they could just push a button and make their bad guys go away. In many cultures, the process moves a lot more slowly and involves lots of talking, coffee, promises, deceit and drama. Some felt an end to the vengeance killings was necessary. Making this happen is the next crucial battle in any war.

Terrorism is threatening all lives by taking some.
The point of terrorism is to cause terror, sometimes to further a political agenda and sometimes out of sheer hatred. The people terrorists kill are not the targets, they are collateral damage. And blowing up planes, trains, markets or buses is not there goal, those are just tactics. The real targets of terrorism are the rest of us and the billions of us who are not killed but are terrorized because of the killing. The real point of terrorism is not the act itself, but our reaction to the act.

War is murder.
Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't. Words have meaning.

What's the difference between a moderate Arab and an extermist?
A Moderate just wants to kill all the Jews. An extremist wants to kill the Jews and anyone else who isn't a Arab extremist.

You're quite right. And well done you for defining in a coherent paragraph, exactly how and why Israel is a terroristic rogue state. What's next then?

You're quite right. The fact that I'm not in Gaza at this precise minute means that my whole argument is vapid and that Israel isn't a rogue state and shouldn't stand accused of genocide. :rolleyes:

You can roll your eyes all you like lol. So again if it concerns you so much why are you not there. Simple question!!!!!!
Well lets say you don't fancy that then, the other option is to go to Syria, or maybe Egypt, or even Jordan and stand in a square with your megaphone and ask them why there government is letting the Palestinians hang out to dry ??
