Because the U.S. government supports Israel........everyone knows that. They have that power base in the media to do that. Israeli soldiers are no different than SS Nazi storm troopers.

The Palestinians are killing innocent civilians in purpose. They are not attacking targets of a military or strategic value.
Although the killings of Israel are indiscriminated in many instances (and here you have to keep in mind the situation in the Palestinian territories where Palestinian fighters are embedded in the comunities in a highly densely populated area) they are at lest nominaly aimed at military oposition of some kind.
Israel does not plant bombs in random places and then detonates them to kill indiscriminately.
Those differences should be explained somehow, and it satisfies me if the Palestinians that fight this way are described so harshly.
This is not to say that Israel deserves support, what they are doing to Palestinians as a people is unspeakable, but that does not mean that the Palestinians are using any moraly palatable tactics to fight back.

Same reason as when the Israeli terrorists bombed the King David Hotel and killed our British soldiers they were called Freedom fighters and not terrorist. Gods chosen people can call themselves what they like because they think they are better than everyone else and after all God is only on their side.

Happens all over.....all the time.
Did you see the news item where that terrorist Nelson Mandela spoke so highly of the recently deceased President De Clerke of South Africa?
You only believe what you're told is the truth.

Yes, they are the same. A human life is a human life no matter what labels the politicians and the media place on them. It's all about expanding the territory.

practically no one cares if an Israeli kills a Palestine because we fighting against them, so they call it self defense(i don't think that's fair because not all Palestinians are bad)

I don't know. It's probably the way it's reported by the American news channels.
But then it's just history repeating itself like when American Indians got a bad rap when they were simply trying to defend their land from the invading whites...all those years ago. They got the shi tty end of the stick too.

Because the term "Terorist" is invented by US and US supports Israel. If the US invades and picks a random country on the map , where there is peace needed, we can bomb the country chosen and kill everyone but if they respond they are the terorists.
Think happy thoughts!

They are both the same but the way this world has gone crazy we are not allowed to offend people by saying it's the same.
