RE: Military posts

The General discussion is here to discuss everything which is not related directly to miltary aviation. This means politics, but also tanks, naval arms … You can ask more personal questions, but there are still some basic rules here which you should respect, otherwise you’d better leave. No insults ‘ad hominem’, no racist comments (sexist comments like you did with Kelly, is also racism). If you want to discuss your favourite Kama Sutra position, go ahead. At least when you repect the ‘rules’.

RE: What happened in Jennin?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 23-04-02 AT 06:49 PM (GMT)]Hi there, sorry for my late reaction.
Well, it seems you all think i’ve gone too far with my latest posts. I still stand with my believes, and I don’t think i’ve crossed a line by saying my own vision on this whole matter, or posting articles from newspapers.

First of all, I’m not a walking library or newspaper. I never said that there was only one version true and that was mine. I try to read as many newspapers as possible (including JPost on the internet), but even then, it’s hard to get unbiased information about what’s really happening. If I turn on the news, the word massacre is widely used, sometimes even too much. The only way to find out what’s really happening is to grab my bullet-proof vest, my camera and check out myself. But, due to Sharons ‘violent’ past (wheter you like it or not, he has been charged for warcrimes by the Knesset and he was also responsible for the actions against the camps Sabra and Satillah by letting terrorist groups killing innocent civilians). I don’t consider it impossible that a war crime has happened in Jenin, and if I see the pictures on TV (yes TV I know) I always get angry. As I’m not a diplomat, I think I have the right to speak freely, and as long as I don’t say anything which is racist, I don’t know where I crossed that line. I also never said that the PLO was not to blame, that they were all that innocent. Since 1988 they condemned any terrorist attacks though and they were widely regarded as the only authority which represented the Palestinians. I’m also aware that Arafat was a terrorist and in the 70’s he was responsable for hijacking an AF-flight. But situations have changed a lot since then.

JJ.
I’ll try to answer your question, even though you’ll find new arguments. You’re always one step ahead. If a masacre took place, than the ones responsible should be brought to justice. If the UN says what has happened in jenin was NOT a masacre, than I take back my words, which doesn’t mean I approve what has happened there. Far from it …

RE: Electional surprise in France

Yeah, you get over it … we in Belgium are getting used of this #####.

Ooh, our leader of the Vlaams Blok already congratulated Le Pen for his victory. He’s about the only one in Europe who did so. Says a lot about these people.

RE: What happened in Jennin?

Name a single organized Israeli paramilitary organization, Tomel.

… the bastards who killed him would never have done it.

It looks like you answered your own question, Skythe. The rightwingers who killed Rabbin WERE terrorists of a paramilitary organisation. The man who killed him was not operating alone, a whole organisation was behind him.

RE: Navy QF-4 crashes at show

I’ve seen those pictures on TV.
