So basically, Fatah is mad that Hamas won the elections and that is why the fighting has occured?

From what Ive seen it looks like two rival Islamic groups vying for power. Hamas seems to be trying to chill out now that they have power. While Fatah seems to want more violence. This could be precursor to a civil war in Gaza.

Anyone know anything about the recent Isreali air strike on a Palestinian training camp in Gaza?

New Olive Garden franchises in every major city.:D

As I thought.

Then stop saying West. If you google western governments you will find many different types of democratic governments. They aren't all the same. Only in that they have a Senate to check the primary ruler.

So the Turks didn't conquer Palestine or Palestine wouldnt be part of Jordan?

I will be happy to do that.

I think they have it where I live or an hour or so away. It looks like a masterpiece of knowledge and understanding for the conflict.

Awesome thats what I was wanting. Have you seen the film about the suicide bombers, I forget the title but I remember the trailer from a film I saw about a week ago. I am thinking about going to see it if its worth it.

Yes I understand all this. I think my question wasn't straightforward. I was wondering if most suicide bombers/freedom fighters recieve orders from their group leaders or if they just execute missions on their own feeling or wishes? That was my question, I know the reasons for the reaction by...

It's an AP article which is basically just a report. Its not like a column or an actual article written by a reporter. Meaning it has less bias overall but you can't tell where the information came from. Your point of human nature makes me question to vulneralbility of suicide bomb...

Well in Ian's defense, the following attack was very dispicable: • March 30, 2006: A bomber disguised as a Jewish hitchhiker blows himself up in a car outside a West Bank settlement, killing four Israelis who stopped to pick him up. The Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, a violent offshoot of...

And nightclubs.

:agree: Well said Ian and in case this fellow was thinking about the Romans. I'd like to shoot them down too. Rome doesn't count as democratic either. Even the US is a Democratic Republic not a Republican Democracy, though sometimes I do wonder.

Ive never been quoted in a sig before, thanks for being my first time?:D

I agree with you that the cases are different and the the British-India comparison was a bit of a stretch on my part. You can't ignore that the Soviets and Isreali's did and do use similer tactics to frighten and control the people. I think they are similar in that aspect, though not entirely...

Im sorry my friend. I must sleep tonight. I will reply tomorrow during my day.

I am familiar with the struggles in Indonesia but I wasn't aware of Malaysia's story. I will definitely do some research.

My comments refer to the statements in bold. While we all know this is untrue about Arabs, it is the fashion in which Arabs are portrayed by Western media. And while it is sad the most known sect of Islam is the small one that acts like the Christians of the Middle Ages, promising Paradise...
