These are oppressed people fighting for liberation. They're not just randomly killing people because "all they know is war", or any other lame reason you might come up with when you're watching the action on MSNBC. They're fighting the war with the best means they have available, because they have children who they love, and spouses they love, who they want to see live better, more peaceful lives. "

Never in my 31 years of life have I heard such a load of horseshit!

If they were attacking Israli military targets or even Israli government buildings or police stations of things like that I would say they are an oppressed people fighting for liberation. But the reality is they walk into banks and open fire, blow up busses carring civilians and explode bombs in grocery stores.

They may be an oppressed people, that's another argument but trying to make their actions sound noble and just is just as fucked up as the actions themselves
