Then, again, what *is* enough? Should I first say that we should blindly accept anything Israel does, without even a hint of criticism? Should I first say that (unless proven otherwise on a person-by-person basis) all Palestinians are child-murdering terrorists who hates Jews? >AFAIK, *nobody* - even Osama >bin Laden - declares a supporter of terrorism. The sheik of Hamas, for >example, says that the attacks against Israeli children or old people are >*not* acts of terrorism, but a legitimate fight against oppression etc. To some extent, whether or not an act is an act of terrorism is a matter of opinion. Most of the world calls the suicide bombings in Israel terrorism; Hamas does not. Back in WW2, the Resistance in Europe attacked both military and civilian targets. The Resistance called it fight against oppression; the Germans called it terrorism.
