<p>Bristow87, You really ought to read the links from articles you post. The website you posted, The Modern Religion, also had a link to a BBC story. This BBC story had a quote from Israeli Cabinet Secratary Yitzchak Herzog, “He added that Palestinian police should have called their Israeli counterparts who he said had been trying to speak to Palestinian commanders for hours.” Why did the Palestinian Police make no attempt to rescue the boy and his father? BECAUSE A DEAD KID IS WORTH MORE TO THEIR CAUSE THAN A LIVE ONE, THE DEATH IS MORE EASILY EXPLOITED. If the bullets that killed him were from an Israeli gun, which I have still seen no evidence of, I highly doubt it was intentful. There were so many bullets flying that anyone of them could have bounced off a wall and hit the boy and his father. Civilian casualties occur, it’s a fact. But the IDF tries their best to avoid them, whereas the Palestinian militants go DIRECTLY for the civilians. For them it is no accident when a child dies, instead it is a job well done. The reason civilians are sometimes injured or killed in IDF operations, as I have said before, is because the terrorists cowardly hide behind the innocent men, women, and children. You have no one to blame for the deaths of civilians than the terrorists.</p>
<p>Paraiso, SAY SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE OR SHUT UP! You will get absolutley NO WHERE with comments to rahulnirmal2000 like, “Was 1994 an upsetting year for you? Huh huh?” “*** is wrong with you?” and "Now I SEE what your problem is… your a racist — " I can play that game with you just as easily if you want it to go that way. I can call you a terrorist-sympathizer for supporting the people who purposely target and kill civilians. I can call you a racist and bigot for always turning a blind eye to the atrocities commited by the Israelis. So what’s your response, Huh Huh? Shall I continue playing your game?</p>
<p>You also said a sniper could clearly see Muhammad Al-Dura and his father. They could see them, if they had the same angle as the camerman taking the pictures. First off, you don’t know if it was even an IDF soldier who fired the shots. </p>
<p>You also said, “How many tears have to be shed until this ignorance, indifference, and opression stops?” Oh, so now that they’re oppressed, they can act however they want. I see. Please tell me you don’t believe such drivel. If people act like that when they are oppressed why don’t you see us Jews acting in such a manner. Every country in Europe and the Mid East has killed us and evicted us at one time or another, showing us no mercy at all, but we did not murder innocent civilians. Did we attack, yes, but only soldiers and the government, people who were able to defend themselves.
-1492 Spain killed and evicted hundreds of thousands of Jews during the Inquisition.

-The hundreds of pogroms across Europe which killed thousands of us.
-1891 14,000 Jews expelled from Moscow
-1938-1945 The Holocaust. 6,000,000 of us were butchered. Murdered in the gas chambers, the fields, the camps. Men, Women, Children were all starved, beaten, torture, murder. Camps set up for no purpose other than murder.</p>
<p>WE WERE OPPRESSED. You did not see us strapping bombs to our chest and murdering civilians, you do not see us killing innocents. DON"T YOU DARE GIVE ME THAT BULL**** ABOUT BEING OPPRESSED AND ACTING LIKE ANIMALS! No one was more oppressed than the Jews, and you do not see us committing such horrible unspeakable acts.</p>
