22:00 Jan 04, '05 / 23 Tevet 5765

(IsraelNN.com) A report leaked out to the media originating at Voice of Palestine Radio, stating they received a phone called that Fatah terrorist abducted an IDF officer and soldier. The caller promised to fax the station copies of the soldiers’ identity papers as proof, but never made good on the promise.

The report stated the abduction occurred in the Maale Adumim area, in line with intelligence warnings of a planned kidnapping during recent days.

IDF officials are handling the report in the appropriate fashion.

I'm sure Abbas "the Moderate" had nothing to do with this...

1. How would abducting IDF be terrorism?

If those are your words, you broke the forum rules. More like a successful operation if true.

2. They Are Not My Words

Successful operation? LOL. I could only imagine the outcry if an Israeli kidnapped a Palestinian officer.

3. Are you on the round planet with the Atlantic and Pacific?

They certainly wouldn't call it terrorism.

[Annus Horribilis]

4. No

The earth is flat and everything is always the Jews' and Israelis fault.

5. This is a valid target

I do hope they are returned safely though.But I see many here calling it a war,so this is a valid target.

6. I Don't Think It's a War

How can it be a war when Palestine doesn't exist as a nation, they have no formal military and the suicide bombers are terrorists who target civilians. It's not a war.

7. haha

You really backed yourself in a corner now. Where is DrDon and the fancy talking Magistrate when you need em? ;)

8. Whatever

I said I don't personally consider it to be a war. A war is when two armies fight each other. Not one someone blows up a cafe or a daycare full of civilians.

10. Ah cool there is no war in Iraq

Thanks for clearing that up.

[Annus Horribilis]

12. The war is over

We won the war. We defeated the Iraqi govenment. But now we are losing the peace. That's the problem.

13. LOL

Did you get that one from your friends at Free Republic?

[TheKingfish]

14. Ok this is getting waaayyy too easy...

[Calico Jack Rackham]

11. Or drops a 2000 lb

laser guided bomb into a residential neighborhood, Right?

16. I guess we don't have a War on Terror going on then.

That's certainly a relief anyway.

9. Israel is 'at war,' Sharon declares (3/31/02)

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2002/03/31/sharon.htm

"Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Sunday that his country ''is at war'' and would strike relentlessly at Palestinian militants. Only then would a cease-fire be possible, Sharon said in a brief televised address explaining Israel's 3-day-old military offensive to his people. He said Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was "the enemy of Israel and the free world in general" and was directing a campaign of terrorism against the Jewish state."

[Crunchy Frog]

15. That is not a necessary condition for war.

Wars have been going on for thousands of years, long before the modern day concept of the nation-state came into existance. All you really need for war is two identifiably, somewhat united groups of people fighting each other for some reason.

Or do you really believe that there was no war prior to the coming into existence of the modern nation-state a few centuries ago. It's an interesting theory but I'm not buying it.

19. if these guys are killed ...

take 1 sq.mile of west bank for each one and build new settlements.

[Forkboy]

20. that'll help

:eyes:

[Calico Jack Rackham]

21. Good one pal.

Another excuse to try to justify yet another Israeli land grab.

Nice to know you are a fan of ethnic cleansing.

[Crunchy Frog]

22. I believe that would be considered "collective punishment"

under international law, and therefore illegal. I also don't think it would be very constructive in bringing peace to the region, but maybe that's not of any concern to you.:shrug:

Poor Annus. :cry:

[Lenore]

17. Some may not like it but

The Palestinians, while not an yet an actual "Nation" are however people who, none the less, have a fundimental and 'recognized in international law' right to resist occupation.

[Forkboy]

18. It's war in all but name

[The Magistrate]

23. There Would Seem Some Question, Sir

Whether anything has actually occured.

Why this should be laid at the door of a campaigning politician is unclear, in any case....
