Please understand that the questions I am asking in this message are that,
just questions and I am not taking on side over another.
Then I am also torn, because when I try to look at this from the Palestinian
perspective (which I'll admit upfront I am not the most educated on). Do the
palestinians have a legitimate beef about their land being taken? Would I as
a man, act any differently if I was in their shoes? Would I then be a
terrorist or a resistance fighter? Would my actions be that much different
than the actions of some of my own people (americans) during the
revolutionary war (not talking about homicide bombings here, but guerilla
tactics), or the vietnamese people against US troops, or any resistance
fighter during any conflict?
There is not much justification for a "palestinian perspective" This because
the so-called Palestinians are not native to the land, but are refugees from
other Arab lands where they were driven out. Going back in history, the actual
native Palestinians were, in fact Jews, not Arabs. The Arabs have no legitimate
claim on any of the Palestinian land.
What if I was an Israeli? Obviously I would be incensed at the carnage, but
would my feelings really be that much different than those of the people
living on the other side of the fence?
I think the terrorist label is being thrown around too freely in the world
today. One mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter, patriot or soldier.
No matter the cause, belief or reason.
Terrorist is just a pop-ed term for "criminal enterprise."
Just my ramblings this morning. Wincing as I post this........
