There is no doubt in my mind that the massacres in the Lebanon camps were deliberate killings of the civilians there, which makes them terrorist acts, so that Hadad and others who were responsible would by my definiton be terrorists.
As for Sharon, if he was involved, than under the definition, it would be a criminal act. I don't think a distinction can be made between ordinary people involved and top ranking people. Nuremberg made that clear, even if they were inconsistent in the actual verdicts. I'm aware of the Belgium indictment against Sharon, but as I've stated here before, I'm also aware that Sharon won his libel case against Time Magazine which had said he was involved. So far, it remians unproven. If it ever does prove to be a fact, I have no problem saying in that case he should be arrested. I'm not going to defend Sabra and Chattilla. It's not defensible. Nor am I going to pretend there have never been Jewish terrorists. That would be silly.

In 1991 or so, there was a highly publicized case about 4 East German border guards who shot and killed fellow East Germans trying to escape communism by going over the Berlin wall.

The border guards were found guilty and charged to some 5 or 6 years of prison, although it was clear they were acting under orders and they were draftees with no choice with respect to their military service.

Having been both an East European draftee, and someone who escaped communism in a similar fashion, I found this as one of the greatest travestee of justice.

While these men were going to jail for things they were forced in doing at the age of 19 or 20, the bastard Erik Honeker was allowed to flee to Chile (the land of Pinochet!!!!! go figure) and die peacefully.

I guess communist dictator and capitalist dictator can get along very well thank you, as long as they murder their opposition.

Back to Israel - I see confiscation and demolition of Palestinian homes as an act of terrorism. Also terrorism is to shoot at ambulances who try to help the wonded on a battlefield. The Israeli state seems to be guilty as hell, and Bush hasn't bombed Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.

ON the contrary, we gave them more weapons and "unconditional support" so they can do more of the same in the name of the "war on terror".

Very hypocritical in my oppinion - but also very fundamentalist conservative worthy of a Bush adminisration.
