The accepted definition of “terrorism” includes an activity that involves the unlawful use of force to (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population, or (ii) disrupt any segment of the economy of a government, state, or country; or (iii) influence any government de jure or de facto by intimidation or coercion; or (iv) affect the conduct of a government de jure or de facto by mass destruction or assassination.
The events of recent weeks prove that Israel is the ultimate Terrorist State.
I think it's about time, the whole situation in Middle East is taken
care of once and for all. The Arab leaders need to get together and need to find a compromise. They need to move forward. What has been happening to Palestine is very sad and Israel should not be allowed to terrorize other countries and people. Their eye for eye strategy has created nothing but more and more bloodshed and innocent people have been suffering for too long now. I feel bad for Israel citizens too. :(

You're right the Arab leaders need to get together recognize Israel's right to exist and tell these suicide bombers to stop poking the lion. But, until then, Israel is fighting for its life. It is not the aggressor in this fight, it has been the terrorist who attack Israel. Terrorist supported, comforted, and recruited from the civilian populace which has now elected a government that calls for the destruction of Israel. {A government in a country that would not even exist if Israel had not given the land that it had won in a war Israel did not start.} That's not terrorism that's Genocide, a crime against humanity, which any decent human being would see as the greater crime.

First of all the Arab leaders won't get together. They hate each other as much as they hate Americans and Israelis.
And, what is a legal war? One that has the stamp of approval on it from the UN. Please! The UN is anti-Semitic and will never give the okay for Israel to do anything to defend themselves. Considering the fact that Israel is practically surrounded by countries that would like to "wipe them off the map", Israel is completely justified acting unilaterally.
As far as going into Lebanon, that is no different than America going into Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Lebanon lets Hezbollah train there. They are blatant terrorists.
I have no problem with Israel's recent actions and I hope that they take the Gaza Strip back from the Palestinians. You cannot negotiate or compromise with these kinds of people.

Your terrorist definition is except by whom?
terrorism is causing fear and unrest among a population that is not at war with anyone.
You remember 911 ? the twin towers? those people in the towers didn't hurt the terrorists.
But I do not agree with what Israel is doing... they have given up land for peace and that is a huge mistake.
The Palestinian leaders do not want peace with Israel, they want Israel destroyed and nothing short of that will do. Its only westerners naively believe that peace will come through compromise.

Palastine has been invaded by Isrealies and palastinains are only trying to defend themselfs .
read the history books to know how the jews managed to get into Palastine and how they are slowly taking over .
do you want the palastinians to just lie down and die ?
I think Israel is wrong
and i think all the arabs are just to stupid or lame to do anything about it right now . its true and i am ashamed of this fact

No, they claim they are victims of terrorists. but they have deprived their palestinian counterparts of a country of their own.
no one talks about the 60's opression israel did and the beginning of this bloody war.
im not saying suicide bombers are justified, but what do expect from a country that doesnt even have an army.

I do not believe for one second that Israel kidnapped its own citizens. I do not believe they bombed themselves. I do not believe they have their own people strap bombs to themselves and blow up civilians. Israel has been terrorized for a long time. About time they took a stand.

Who said it's unlawful. Is it unlawful to respond to attacks of another country?
