As salam alaikum
Highjack! I just want to warn everyone.
"But I do not feel that suicide bombings is an effective way to get the sympathy that the Palestinians need from the rest of the world."
Guess what the Palestinians were doing before they started suicide bombings? After waiting and waiting and having the UN ignore their pleas, they started to try to remedy thier situation in a manner that they felt would suceed with the little resources that they have. I am not stating my opinion on these tactics. I have one but it is mine. Since I am not a scholar, I keep my mouth shut.
I just wanted to point out that these people have been waiting for help. The only difference now is that countries use the excuse that they are terrorists as a means of denying them aid.
Along those lines, did you believe that the trade blockade to Iraq was effective in getting Sadam Hussien from power or did it just starve innocent people? Should everyone suffer because of the actions of a few?
As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu, ikhwan.
