Is the bombing and killing of four UN observers terrorism by Israel?

Question

By bombing UN observers are they making sure noone witnesses their crimes?

Sorry guys, you are right its not terrorism. Let me rephrase:

Is the bombing of four UN observers an attempt to cover their crimes?

to scotty the comic: No the bombing of of 241 marines is not TERRORISM, an act of war but not terrorism.

Answer 1

during the bombibg of beograd in yugoslavia in 1999,i am not sure about the year, a usa rocket hit the chinese embassy. this kind of "side effects" are realy "messages'' send, given the opportunity. I am not answering the question" is this terrorism?" Since israel army kills women, children,hundrends of innocent people,since they bomb roads, water and electric power nets,telecomunication nets, to make people not to have food ,water and nowhere to go,then what else israel army can be than TERRORISTS

Answer 2

The US marines that were on a PEACE KEEPING mission under the UN in Lebanon was and act of overt terrorism and if you don't believe that go look at the history of the time. They were not there as aggressors. And you are a very foolish young person if you have not done your reading before you spout nonsense. The killing of the UN observers was a sad thing but not done on purpose. Many UN observers have died in many countries because of the conflict they are trying to stop. Sorry YOU ARE WRONG!!!

Answer 3

My guess is that the Israelis believed that these UN observers were communicating their troop movements to Hezbollah. We should wait until an investigation is completed before passing judgment. Unfortunate incidents and mistakes occur during war. Does it really matter whether we call the bombing terrorism or an act of war? Are people less dead when killed by an act of war rather than terrorism?

Answer 4

I personally believe that Israel has a lot to answer not only for that but for many things that they are doing to smaller countries.

I think they have a chip on their shoulders from back in the 2nd world war and they are taking it out on other countries, the only reason they are getting away with this crap is because they are US supporters. If they were not supporters of the US then they would be called terrorists and the US would probably consider going into their country.

I am not a Muslim, or from any of the countries that are fighting with Israel but from where sit here in Australia what israel is doing is not right and it never will be. I can't help but wonder what the count for the calateral damage is in Lebanon.

Bye for now.

Answer 5

The death of the U.N. observers was unfortunate but no more an act of terrorism than when the U.S. accidentally bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade in 1999. Or when the U.S. accidentally bombed Canadian infantry in Afghanistan a couple
of years ago. Accidents happen in war and are referred to as friendly fire. That's why if you're going to be an observer in a war
zone it's best to make out a will.

Answer 6

No!....look many times in conflict friendlies get hit it happens all the time, now I'm not saying this because i like the Israelis people, I'm saying this because i have seen it first hand several times, and that doesn't make us or them terrorist. there are many different things that could have gone wrong here, but to get into those issues would be too time consuming. this will be investigated by the international community and it will come out in the wash. I called in close air support in Afghanistan near American and Northern alliance troops in which 6 people were injured and this being as bad as it was does not make me a terrorist, i just made a terrible error.

Answer 7

Is the bombing in Isreal by Hisbollah, terrorism?
Most people in the Middle East dont seem to think so... No, is the suicide bombings in Isreal by Palestinians terrorists acts... Why not?

The UN Workers were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they knew that Isreal was shelling the place... They should of gotten out of the bombs way.

When those who try and kill the Isrealites, stop thier madness, (and I doubt it, because rational thinking is something that you cant find in too many of them who want to blow themselves up, cant be thinking straight, in my book), then there will be peace in the Middle East.

Isreal has to bomb Hibollah out of existance, in order to survive... For them, they have no choice, as all the Middle East seem to want to wipe them out to the last man/woman/child!!

You dont do that to a Nation.

I wish you well..

Answer 8

Oh well, the UN troops that are there are suppose to be keeping an eye on the real terrorist in the area, obviously they didn't bother, perhaps they were to busy taking bribes? And let's see missiles fly from both directions and they are surprised when one accidentally goes in their area. Wake up and smell the coffee knuckleheads!

Answer 9

Not sure if it's terrorism, but it certainly is an over-reaction to the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers -- not to mention the deaths of over 100 Lebanese kids.
Israel is only hurting itself by such actions.

Answer 10

Not terrorism because they were'nt civilians... They say it was an acciden, but it makes you doubt how could it happen when the observers called them 10 times not to bomb there and especially not there...
