Is Israel a terrorist state?

[Gandalf]

Actually, I would care if someone thought I was anti semitic because I'm obviously not. I hardly march up and down ranting about the Jews. My issue is always with injustice and in this situation see a strong element of injustice. I loath the Israeli state as it currently exists, but that doesn't mean I hate the vast bulk of its citizens who are probably very fair people. Unfortunately, none of us have any real control over our political elites.

I was watching this video earlier this afternoon and it made for frustrating viewing. You try telling any of these people that Israel is not a terrorist state. They occupy land that isn't their own and then they butcher anyone that they percieve might be an independant thinking human being. Of course there wil be resistance against illegal occupation. Israel is like apartheid South Africa, in that it is a nation that no others should touch. It's criminal that the US has condoned these crimes for so many years and Israel continues to get away with crimes against humanity. I would love to get out there and see it all for myself one of these days. I would dearly love to spit on an Israeli soldier, how can those people do the job they do? Disgusting.
