The terrorism that you would consider terrorism if it was done against jews/anglos.

So you are saying that its not ok for a country to defend itself against occupation and illegal acts of war?

FriYAY wrote on Dec 5^th, 2012 at 1:50pm:

So if someone was to invade and occupy Israel, US, UK or Australia? You would expect them to not do anything and allow their civilians to be killed and put into ghettos?

FriYAY wrote on Dec 5^th, 2012 at 2:11pm:

Yeah, how dare they not drop white phosphorous on schools like the civilised jews.
So you do support Palestine's right to defend itself?

Better to die on your feet then live on your knees. If the choice is between having some pride and having absolutely nothing, no man would pick the latter.
