<typing slowly so you will finally get it> The Palestinians *support* the PLO
and all of their terrorist activity. The PLO murders *on behalf* of the
Palestinians, *with their blessing*. *That* is why I am against them. Let them
renounce the PLO and terrorism and I will change my tune. But I don't ever see
that happening, especially when people around the world such as yourself believe
that terrorism in this case is somehow justified.

There have been *books* written on the subject. It is common knowledge. If you
can't see it, you are either a part of it or brainwashed by it.

A simple yes or no. I asked because I'm not sure.

A simple yes or no. Why offense? Your responses throughout this whole
discussion make me wonder.

<snip sarcastic drivel>
Typical. So quick to criticize, but yet if it were to have happened to you, you
have *no idea* how you would have responded. You probably think that it *
wouldn't* ever happen to you, because you wouldn't have ever put yourself in the
situation to have it happen to you. Arrogant, yet naive.

Look. If you are going to sit there and insinuate that somehow *we* are to
blame for 9-11, you are an idiot. The attacks on 9-11 occured because a group
of Arabs hated enough to deny their own humanity to murder innocents. IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH US. I don't care what foreign policy you care to cite, IT
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US. It has *everything* to do with their own hatred and
intolerance. Period.
Do you care?
Of course I care! Because I don't want it to happen again.

Hmmm. Not so quick to look up peace treaties ever broken by the Palestinians...
I wonder why?
