Many say that this was no miscalculation and was deliberate murder of Jews by Jews, in an attempt to influence British immigration policy to Palestine.
The first act of air piracy in the history of civil aviation was carried out by Israel, in Dec. 1954, when a civilian Syrian airliner was forced down in Tel Aviv and its passengers and crew held for days, despite international condemnation.
In 1968, Israeli commandos blew up 13 civilian airliners at Beirut airport in Lebanon
The first deliberate shooting down a civilian airliner was carried out by Israel, when a Libyan airliner was shot down by Israeli jet fighters over Sinai, in Feb. 1973, on the direct orders of Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, killing all 107 of its passengers and the entire French crew.
About the solution you are talking about: Palestina have never been a reconised country in the international comunity.
Hmmm maybe all this can all be summed up pretty easily, both Israel and the palestinians are guilty of terror attacks to the point that they are now indistinguishable. Neither side deserves any support and certainly neither has any claim to being in the right.
So we can sit here going point for point on who's actions are justifiable but I remain adamant that strapping a bomb to yourself and blowing up a bunch of civilians is no more justifiable than firing a missile into into a refugee camp and killing a bunch of civilians under the pretense that you are targetting a "militant".
Firstly, Israel dose not delibretly kill or wound civilians. Secondly, When Israeli soldiers deliberetly do so, they are court martialled.
But the fact that you write "militant" instead of militant shows how much of an understanding you have.
Also, if the Palestinians ever bothered to keep their militry and civilian lives apart of ach other, instead of hiding behind women and children like cowards, they could asave many civilians.
Walk a mile in Israeli shoes. You will find it a harsh, lonely mile. Its all easy from NZ
Does Israel have some form of compulsory military service?.
If so then wouldnt it be fair to say that as long the Palestinians dont specifically target people below or above military age then thay are not killing civilians but more "out of uniforn soldiers"?
Now you may consider that statement stupid but in reality like yourself I am simply applying spin to make an unjustifiable act justifiable.
I use the term "militant" because of the old addage that one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter and nothing more, in a conflict where both parties are guilty of war crimes I think it applies.
1) The Palestinians dont have a military.
2) Perhaps if Isreali troops stopped opening fire on kids throwing stones just as many civilians would be saved.
You would think that however NZ has just got through suspending diplomatic ties with Israel over two of its agents trying to procure NZ passports illegally, now the question I ask you is why would such an above board and misunderstood nation want illegal passports if not for underhanded reasons?.
So please dont try holier than thou card you may find it backfires.
Wow, are you saying that the Israeli intel uses iilegal passports. Thats is just so strange. I thought that you simply go to the border point with Syria and ask for a ride to Damaskus. Come on.
So which are they Terrorists or a Palestinian military because that raises a whole lot of other questions about those in detention being POW's or criminals.1)Yes they do, the PLO.
2)Israeli troops do not open fire on kids throwing rocks. That is simply untrue. Israeli soldiers fire at people who shoot at them. Those people usually shoot from inside the stone thorwers. Palestinian chilren are cinically used by the terror orgs. Also, in some cases, it was discovered that they were acctually killed by Palestinian fire. Kids sohuldent throw tanks at soldiers in the middle of a battlefield.
Seriously, I suggest you fly over here some time.

Tell me if a NZer ends up imprisoned or worse in Syria because of this incident who should we blame, think the Israeli government will "fess up"?, what do you think the Israeli government would do if those same passports ended up in Hamas hands?.

Indeed I personally struggle to understand how civilians can get caught on battlefields I mean h**l what were they doing in those refugee camps anyway everyone knows they are just parking lots for armour.
I would also challenge you to show me cases where an AK47 round has stopped an MBT or AFV so dont you think the response is out of proportion to the threat?.
Actually I have been there admitedly not for long (6 Months total) but I have seen "some" of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Israel and to a large degree it is that knowldge that helps me formulate my opinion that the entire middle east is wrong.
i agree with monty on this (surprise surprise) alot of extra effort needs to be done on any peace plans becuase neither side is winning. with the palestinians being terrorists, but they are figting the heavy hand of isreal. thta's what we see on our TV's almost everynight
All intell agencys around the world break the law when it comes to their travel arangements. If a innocent NZer was arrested by Syria, well, that would be a Syria-NZ problem, as in any other situation where an NZer is arrested for no reason.
Really, how long were you in Israel?
