Dealing with terrorism: The Poll

We see all kinds of responses out there, and I wonder if those responses could be categorised, perhaps alongside a question of whether you think the Terrorists in question are on to something.

Question one: Do you think the Palestinians are on to something? (y/n)

Question two: Do you think the KKK are on to something? (y/n)

Question three: How should we deal with terrorists in general?
( options: attack 'em/talk with 'em )

Which gives us a total of 8 options. and 1 for 'something else' makes 9.

Poll coming up.

Ah so?

The previous thread lacked systematicness about categorising responses.

Possibly. But unless there are a lot of folks who favour both the KKK and Hamas, I suppose there will be very little space left for opining that we or someone else should think in terms of cutting terrorists more slack.

Well which is it? Hamas or the Palestinians?

Good God, I hope you didn't make such a sweeping generalisation.... :eek:

I'd say it is irrelevant. Either you like 'em, or you don't.

I can't be behind-bothered to distinguish between various shades of White Powerism either.

Palestines ARENT TERRORISTS

some people cannot distinguish between an ethnic group and a terrorist organization

that would make sense except for hamas, which is recognized as a terrorist group. I know all Palestinians are not terrorists, but hamas is palestinian.

some people don't want any terrorists to be called such.

Yes, but all Americans aren't KKK members... but the KKK is American... so therefore, the KKK is representative of America?! :eek:

Palestine cannot be compared to the KKK.

One is a race of people, the other a hate group.

Palestine is well within it's rights to fight Israel, just as Israel is too fight Palestine. The difference being, one is branded a hero and the other a bunch of terrorists.

when the membership of the KKK reaches 50% of the US population or the KKK makes up a majority of our government then they would be representative of America. remember hamas makes up a majority of the Palestinian government, there is a true representation

I am neutral towards the Palestinians and dislike the KKK, and I favor a dialogue with terrorists.

if you'd look back at my second post... I said all Palestinians ARE NOT terrorists, but hamas, a terrorist group does represent them

Palestinians arent terrorists. Israelis are, but not the Palestiniansthey both use terror, so they are both terrorists..

they both use terror, so they are both terrorists..

that is simply not true. hamas and hezbollah both hide within the civilian population, neither try to separate themselves from the locals. both also as a matter of policy target civilians, especially children.
the Israeli military does none of these things, as a matter of policy.
