Are the "Palestinians" a terrorist organization, and doesn't that an enemy of the US?

They are clearly a terrorist group and should be considered an enemy.

Terrorists are a very hard to define group of people. It depends on the nation or person lobbying the accusation to define who is or is not a terrorists. Take for example, Israelis and the US have often blamed the Hamaz of Palestine as terrorists for targetting civilians but their own country men calls them freedom fighters for their effort in liberating their country. The same can be applied that the rebels in America during the war of independece were terrorists in that they target British loyal subjects. But to answer your questions not all terrorists are Muslims and not all Muslims are terrorists. Terrorists can be applied to any national as the US found out during the Oklahoma bombing or when the IRA in Ireland decided to take arms against the British. We could say that the Germans in WW2 were terrorists for conducting civilian bombing in London and even the US Air force for their bombing and destruction during the Vietnam war not for getting the Mai Lai massacre of unarmed civilians. Generally we label terrorists are those inclined to use violence to solve problems or to make demands for their cause and lead to the use of terror and the threat of violence to further their aims. It is hard to define whether their cause is a just one or another fanatical response to get what the wish for. The label of Muslims as terrorists is an inaccurate picture and generalizes and racial profiling due to fear of the unknown after the Sept 11 bombing as well as escalation of war in the Middle East.

that is so true... zionists also make it seem like if u are anti-zionist then u are also an anti-semite exactly how that rude man behaved. Ive seen many jews like the rabbi, they are actually really nice. and it all makes sense. Zionism is terrorism, zionism is rascism, zionism is fascism. Zionism may be the root of all evil in the world. Thanks for the video. one last message... JUDAISM YES! ZIONISM NO! THE STATE OF ISRAEL HAS GOT TO GO!

If somebody breaks in your house and you defend yourself by a knife, you're not a terrorist, that's just self defense. And in general, Palestinians are not terroist, avoid tabloids , discrimnation, and porpagandic medias, it makes us (Americans) look ignorant.

Terrorist do not want to rule the world. They just want to rule their part of it. \n\nTerrorist have an "us" vs "them" view. They do not like an foriegn occupational force in their homeland. \n\nThey are looking for the anwser to this main question:\n\nHow do we get those assholes off our land?

Is Israel in any way responsible for 9/11? I believe so, but indirectly. It is Israels opression of the Palestinians that fuels radical Muslims hatred of them. It is America's unconditional support of Israel that makes radical Muslims hate us. The attacks of 9/11 are a direct result of our support of Israels oppression of the Palestinians.\n\nDoes Israel feel guilty? Of course not. They don't feel guilty about forcing Palestinians from their homes, stealing their land, killing them, building a wall seperating families. Why would they feel guilty about this?\n\nrallman@sbcglobal.net: Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. Turn off FOX news and open your ears. Even your beloved president has said it.

They do not accomplish any of their goals except for to cause violence.  No one is going to negotiate seriously with terrorists.  They are hurting their cause.  The world would support Palestine, for example, if the Palestinians were a bunch of peace-loving people.

The USA DOES NOT support TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.. Hamas has ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY for HUNDREDS of TERRORIST ATTACKS during the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. \n\nIf the USA would continue their financial support of the Palestinian Government (lead by Hamas). They would be no better than Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Cuba, North Korea, and Sudan when it comes to financially backing terroristic efforts.

The USA doesnt dislike Muslims and Arabs. They dislike getting shot at and blown up. We have been giving aid to many Muslim countries such as Palestine and Pakistan. We are allies with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE.

I live in the UK, and the newspapers I read are certainly critical of Israel, but also condemn Palestinian suicide bombings. People here definitely have a different view of Israel than the Americans I know. A few years back a group of Palestinians came to Edinburgh and was hosted by a youth organisation I'm part of. However, I don't think it was a particularly constructive endeavour, as it turned out our visitors were wealthy and priviledged, hardly representative of Palestinians, and had a tendency to steal.

In my opinion I don't think so, Hamas is just a resistance motion against Israeli Occupation, as in any People resistance in any country !!!

After WW2, the UN proposed a seperate state for the Jews in Palestine. The Allied powers effectively drawed up various Arab states that were previously ruled by western colonial powers. Israel was meant for the Jews, and yes there was a seperate Palestinian state proposed. The Arabs had mixed feelings about a Jewish state, but most of the local Arabs in Palestine welcomed it. But what happened was that some of the Jewish militias started to sieze the already drawn up Palestinian lands and worst of all terrorizing and killing the local Arabs. Those militias had some powerful backup from abroad, especially in the US. Many of those backup organizations are non government organizations and many well known businesses. The militias fought for more land and resources and of course killing people, inlcuding children. Israel's first prime minister Ben Gurion once said   “We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.” That's what the Israelis did and still do so more efficiently. There are many powerful organizations in the US that observe every inch of content as to what is presented in the US media to the American public, so no one knows exactly what really goes on in the occupied territories in Palestine. So, my friend, it is Israel that occupies Palestine with full fledged US support and not the other way around. That is the truth and the whole truth. Peace be upon you.

Because the idea that they attack us from the "hatred of freedom" is silly.\n\nAt the core, the current troubles in the mid-east are an internal muslim civil war. These countries are caught between their own culture, which has a rich history, and modernizing, which comes with the risk of "westernization." (Until the seventeenth century the Islamic kingdoms were more advanced than their European counterparts.)\n\nThe attacks against the west are, in general, attacks against the source of modernization in the mid-east, and against the US in particular, the source of money for various authoritarian governments.\n\nThat does not mean we shouldn't fight terrorists and protect ourselves. Of course we should. But to understand this "war" we need to deal with the root causes - and those are all in the mid-east.\n\n("War" in quotes, because, as horrific as acts of terror have been, the current situation is nothing compared to WWI or WWII, or to the possibility of species extinction that came with the Cold War.)\n\nAdded:\nAlthough this is a minority opinion, I think the ultimate source of Arab anger against Israel is part of the internal muslim civil war. Of course the Arabs have grievances (as do the Israelis), but external Arab governments have done nothing but enflame the situation for 50 years. There are many cases of tragic explusions of peoples (Greeks from Western Turkey after WWI, the India-Pakistan split, Germans from Prussia and Poland after WWII), but in these cases other countries have attempted to settle the newcomers and establish new communities. This, tragically, has never happened for the Palestianians.\n\nIn my opinion, the Palestians have been cruely used by external Arab governments as a way to distract their own people from internal problems due to corruption and poor government.

Because Terror is Terror no matter who is doing it.It should always be condemmed and be stopped.Do I agree with Israel..well no but Terror is terror.\n    Hamas is a terror organization period.Israel should get out of gaza and give the palestinians their state.This I believe would solve many of the middle eastern problems.

Just in case you are not fluent in the history, the Arabs have always had a hatred for Jews. Clear back in Biblical times they were taken prisoners and taken to the conquerors country as slaves... Babylonia, Egypt, a couple others I can't recall. The US backs Israel, making us also get on the hate list... but there are apparently other countries on the list also..Mostly of the western civilization.. not restricted to it however.. they are now taking over (or attempting to) countries and governments..
