What makes a terrorist a terrorist?

The story of the massacre at Deir Yassin is part of the Arab tradition and the Hebrew tradition. And in fact, nobody denies: most of the dead in Deir Yassin were old men, women and children, and only a few of them were young men who could be classified as warriors, even though in the Etzel-Lehi meeting before the battle the suggestion (which was raised) of killing civilians had not been accepted, and even though the attackers called upon the villagers to leave the village at the beginning of the attack. On the other hand, there are differences of opinion regarding the number of dead. {A.I. - largely irrelevant}

Meir Pail, who visited the village recounts, "it was noon when the battle had ended and the shooting stopped. The atmosphere became calmer. But the village did not surrender... The Lechi and Irgun fighters... started clearing the houses. They shot with every weapon they had and threw explosives into the houses. They shot at whoever they saw in the houses, including women and children. And the commanders didn’t even try to stop this shameful carnage."Pa’il says that after the parade of captives in streets of the city, some of the men were taken to the quarry and shot. On the 12th of April a medical committee of the Physicians Association visited the village. The members of the committee, Dr. Avigdori and Dr. Druyan testify that mainly bodies of women and children were found in the rooms of houses, riddled with bullets.60 They were not killed by blowing up the houses, and no adult male bodies were found in the rooms.

But they stuck a laser-guided bomb right on the observation post, if it was indirect, the bunker in which they hid would be relatively unharmed. It survived direct artillary fire.

What do they have armies for? If they wanted to remove the hezbollah fighters, they should have sent in their men with tanks, instead of sacrificing the UN observers. What you are implicitly saying is that the lives of IDF soldiers were worth more than the unarmed UN observers.

How UN Lebanon post was bombedThere was fierce fighting in the Khiam area for six hours
Details of the circumstances in which the Israeli air force bombed a United Nations observation post in south Lebanon, killing four UN peacekeepers have begun to emerge.According to diplomats familiar with the UN's initial report into the incident, the post in the town of Khiam was hit by precision-guided munition, says the BBC's Paul Adams in Jerusalem.The report says there was fierce fighting in the area for about six hours before the post was hit, during which time UN personnel contacted the Israel military 10 times, urging them to stop firing.Our correspondent says the UN claims that after each call, it was assured the firing would stop.Six warning callsA preliminary UN report said 17 bombardments landed within one kilometre of the post, and 12 artillery rounds hit within 150 metres of the structure - four of them being direct hits.After this, the post was hit by a precision-guided weapon from an Israeli aircraft.The Irish foreign ministry said one of its officers in the UN's Unifil peacekeeping force in south Lebanon, placed six warning calls to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) prior to the attack."On six separate occasions he was in contact with the Israelis to warn them that their bombardment was endangering the lives of UN staff in South Lebanon," Reuters news agency quoted an unnamed foreign office spokesman as saying."He warned: 'You have to address this problem or lives may be lost'," the spokesman said.The Associated Press news agency named the officer as Lt Col John Molloy.The bomb which killed the unarmed peacekeepers - Canadian, Austrian, Finnish and Chinese soldiers - hit the building and shelter of the observation post, near the eastern end of the Lebanese-Israeli border, UN spokesman Milos Struger said.Israel has launched an investigation.The UN post was on high ground, in an area once occupied by Israel.

Israeli's aren't evil, nor are palestinians. Both are victims.

Radical Islam and Zionism are/were using religion for evil deeds.

edit: just had to add - I said that Deir Yassin was a war crime, it was a slaughter of around 100 civilians - people who were there agree. I have not misrepresented this at all.
