what a pack of horseshit

What are you referring to?

I really liked this sight... but the one thing I am wondering is... why did Palestine react in the first place?

Are you talking about September 2000?  It's because Yasser Arafat's long term goal is to destroy Israel.  He got all the demands that he was "looking for" in 2000, despite thinking that Israel would never make him the offer he couldn't refuse.  Ehud Barak went out on a limb and did just that.  Yasser Arafat has his back against the wall when he rejected the offer and the only way to detract attention from him was to initiate unrest, knowing that Palestinians would die.  To Yasser Arafat, Palestinian life is cheap - he's willing to have thousands of Palestinians killed so that he can reach his goal of destroying Israel.  How many people actually remember that it was Yasser Arafat that cut off negotiations in the year 2000, before he began his war?  In case you're skeptical of Yasser Arafat's involvement in initiating this war, go to the quotes page and read the comment from Imad Falouji, stating Arafat's strategic decision to initiate violence after then end of Camp David.

Taken from your so called "20 Truths" page: "8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem." Yes it's the truth that Jews pray facing Jerusalem and Muslim not. Your point?. 

My point?  Isn't it rather obvious?  Jerusalem has no significance to Muslims.  However, Jerusalem is the center of G-dliness to Jews. 

Either you're stupid or snobbish, or too blinded by your hatred towards ALL Muslims and not just the palentinian people. 

Really?  That's quite a statement, considering you don't even know me.  How do you think Muslims would consider a Jew saying that Mecca was a holy city to Jews?  It's the equivalent to scenario.

Go figure where Muslim face when they pray?. What a lame comparison abt the truth on your part dude.

Really?  I think it's rather significant.  If something is holy to you, pray towards it.  If you don't pray towards it, then stop claiming it's holy to you.

http://www.p-p-o.com/Eng/defultE.htm This is the offical e-mail form for Yassar Arafat

Thanks.  I'll make sure I email him to tell him how much I admire him...

and tell me, how was USS Liberty an accident? 

Well, to tell you the truth there is alot of conflicting information about this event.  I've heard two theories about what actually happened in that war.

1. Israel accidentally hit the USS Liberty.

2. The USS Liberty was passing information to Egypt about Israeli positions during the war.  It was in the US' interests to even out the playing ground, since they knew that Israel was far superior.  Israel realized what the US was up to and took the matters into their own hands.  I'm sure Israel acted in typical Israeli fashion and notified the USS Liberty about it's intentions before it struck.  

Having presented these two scenarios, I and very few other people know which one is right.  Either is entirely possible.

and how were your freedom fighter's anydifferent then those the palestians use? they both kill people for no reason, and certainly don't give any forwarning... 

Really?  How certain are you?  You want me to list the differences?  Here they are:

1. Jewish freedom fighters didn't target Arab civilians - they targetted British soldiers.

2. Before the King David Hotel was hit with a bomb laid by the Jewish freedom fighters, they clearly warned the British soldiers in the hotel.  The British soldiers, figuring it was a hoax, didn't leave.

3. The Jews' targets were against British soldiers, who had no intention of staying in the region for a long time.  Palestinian targets are Jews, who have no intention of leaving - Israel is their home.  Palestinians are trying to make the Israelis scared enough to leave, and both sides are paying a heavy price.

and don't try and pull a "But they use suicide bombers" killing is killing, it's all the same sin... and last I check, our God says : Do not kill (or else an eye for an eye)

Excuse me, do you know anything about judicial systems?  Does every killer get the same punishment?  Have you ever heard of self-defense?  Israel, defending it's people, pursues and kills terrorists, while they are in the process of carrying out attacks on civilians, sometimes successfully.  It's unbelievable that in today's day in age, people can claim that killing in self-defense is not a person's right.  I'd like to see what you would do if you had a gun and a person charged you with a knife.  Are you telling me that you don't have the right to kill him before he kills you?  If not, you're living in a dreamworld.

What seems like truth may in fact be a distorted perspective, 

In fact, your truth is distorted because you don't know what life in the Middle East is like.  For Israel, it's kill or be killed - end of story.  Why don't you visit the Middle East before you pass judgement?

I don't expect you to change, you never will... 

You would change if you knew what terrorism is all about.  I don't think you have a grasp on Arab mentality - when you do, you'll understand.

but at least try and look at it from their eyes, isrealis also kill their families, just as their extremeist have certainly killed jewish families. 

Are you for real?  Do you really think the Israeli army kills random people?  The massive majority of the Palestinians killed in the current conflict are so-called "militants", en route to killing Jews.  The majority of Jews killed in the current conflict are innocent civilians, eating at diners, celebrating bat mitzvahs, going to clubs.  There is no comparison.

And don't pull a "but they" move, because it's useless, in the end the two sides killed innocents, and BOTH sides have broken peace treaties and cease fires. 

Again, the majority of Israelis killed are civilians, going about their lives.  The majority of Palestinians killed were terrorists or sling-and-rock-wielding rioters, causing danger to Jewish Israeli civilians.

it's immpossible to find a person at fault, because no one is 'pure' so don't blame them just because you can't understand them, they're just like you...

That's where you're totally wrong.  They've been taught hatred from day one - you'll never understand until you begin to monitor their press.  Look at my list of links for some media monitors.  If you were told that Jews were evil from the day you were born, you'd want to kill them too.
