USA starts a "war against terrorism". This concept is then adapted by different states in the world. One of these states, Israel, has always had the support of the US. One of Israels ministers gets murdered by palestinian fanatics. How does Israel react? They claim to do the same as the US, and so they send in tanks in Palestine. The first day that the tanks are in action one of them fires on a palestinian school, killing a young girl(think she was 8). Israel goes out and actually DEFENDS this action saying that victims are to be counted with in their "war on terrorism". Well i am sure that that 8-year old would have been just a dandy terrorist some day, but really...(irony). After some time the US went out to say that there could be no peace in the conflict Israel-Palestine without a Palestine country. Well, in my oppinion this should have been obvious about 50 years ago but, no point in looking backwards. So my question is this: Is it reasonable of Israel to send in tanks, killing more civilians than soldiers, to be able to convince Palestine to hand over the murderers to Israel? Would Israel turn over one of their countrymen to Palestine if the positions were reversed? Or would the US turn over an american to Iraq if that was the case? If this is not the case, why did not any state, or at least the UN, condemn this act from day 1? To make it perfectly clear to everyone: I am against ANY form of terrorism or any kind of over-violence. But i think the door should swing both ways if we ever are to see an end to all of this.
