@BatmanbinSuperman12 Because I don't agree with Islamic Fundamentalist terrorism? Or because I believe the Palestinians have a legitimate reason to be upset with Israel?

[BatmanbinSuperman12]

They fight Israel. Is it killing you? Are you in Israel? Muslims are a threat? Who persecuted jews it was white christian. Who tortured their black slaves, killed innocent natives, bombed cities leaving even non-combatant people dead, who attacked a whole kingdom because they got taxes on tea? who attacked a whole kingdom because 5 ppl died in the Boston massacre. Back then you were a threat. So don't say people who fight oppression are a threat. I will say now am I a terrorist?

[BatmanbinSuperman12]

That is like me saying white people are a threat because they will make us stupid if we talk to them. We will become stupid like white redneck cowboys.

[BatmanbinSuperman12]

Don't say Muslims are the "number one threat" I am speaking to you Mr.Emerson(just saying). You sound very ignorant. You are saying that all terrorists are Muslim? Did you forget those who commit crimes in your country. Your people try to establish some one else's government but can't even take care of the problems here in America. Don't try to say Muslims are a threat. You caused it.

[BatmanbinSuperman12]

Are you ok? So Peanut Allergies, Gangs, thieves, raping, pedophiles, abduction, Cancer, drunk driving, intoxication, drug cartels, racist groups, bullies, etc are not a threat at all to America. 9/11 happened once. You guys are in the Middle East. The middle East is not here. 3000 people died in 9/11 so you are justified to bomb a whole defenseless city or village Muslims are the only threat? Your country nuked Japan killing innocents because they bombed a land that used to be theirs.

@wcropp1 You are stupid, seriously.

@wcropp1 violence upon civilians then I would do whatever was within my means to stop them. Long story short, not all Palestinians are crazy murderers, but if you encounter one that is, as Ernie so eloquently stated, kill the son of a bitch. This should be a good series from what I've seen so far--thanks for posting it, and sorry for the long-winded posts--complex topic for a YouTube comment.

@wcropp1 unitary force/enemy in the world. These people are, in most cases, not the most intelligent people. The Middle East as a region has some legitimate reasons to be upset with certain Western nations, as well as the Israel, however their stated goals/tactics are even worse than the people they condemn. There are intelligent Palestinian dissidents that do not generally conduct themselves in such a manner, and they have my support. However, a terrorist is a terrorist, and if they initiate

@wcropp1 warfare, etc. is one thing--killing innocent civilians at random is unacceptable. While a country's population is indeed responsible to some degree for the actions of its government, especially in a democratic society, you cannot place the blame on random non-combatants. For all they know, they could be killing potential supporters of their cause. It's much harder to sympathize with someone when they're always trying to kill you. Many of these radical groups see the U.S. as a monolithic

While I disagree slightly in that I think the Palestinians do have a legitimate reason to be upset with the way the world has treated their people (regardless of how long they lived in the area, they had been there for long enough and were forcibly removed), I agree completely that modern terrorist tactics require a new form of non-traditional response/counter measure as the tactics being used against us are themselves unconventional. Non-violent resistance, civil disobedience, guerrilla
