Wondering what makes a person commit such attrocities? What makes a person blow up a bunch of people to demonstrate a point of view or demand attention?
Wondering why its impossible to just ask for what is needed? Wondering why asking doesn’t work? Is compromise impossible? And why?
If its due to ignoring the needs of desperate people drive them to destruction of themselves and others, then why ignore?
Why not ask why? And try to succor their needs? And help them?
Wondering who in their right mind would want to explode a bunch of innocent people for a political or religious ideal? Such an unholy waste of god given life.
Especially when one only lives a short time in the world and only has a short time to spend with those they love. Why waste that precious time?
Terrorism takes many forms but ultimately it means the unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
We should ask the IRA what was their gripe, despite being funded by the US which was of the same religion and political movement, but the victims were the British who apparently are the US's main allies.

when they are being oppressed, not given basic rights, their mothers,children wives husbands being killed for no reason,children being targeted even while they are at school, wat harm can a child possibly do!!! and no-one from the outside world will help them.
Wondering why its impossible to just ask for what is needed?
because every one is just bothered for the own needs and how things will benefit them
Wondering why asking doesn’t work? Is compromise impossible? And why?
compromise is possible when both sides are in agreement and when a ceasefire works so that both sides can talk! and also when there is an unbiased mediator.

because america want control of the middle east, and Israel have stopped anybody from entering the areas under “operation”, even the media, God knows wat is happening there

like you said people in a desperate state.
Especially when one only lives a short time in the world and only has a short time to spend with those they love. Why waste that precious time?
the ones that they love have most probably been killed,

We can take away many things from individuals, but we should never strip their dignity. Without it, they have nothing left to live for and other peoples' lives become as expendable as they perceive their own to have become.

I think I get the gist of what your saying and what you mean. I can tell your a kind hearted person.
I only question the ability of another to take away ones dignity. It's intangible. One can lose ones dignity at the expense of ones self. Not because another took it away.

True, it IS intangible. How do we measure it... is it hearing one's loved one being referred to as collateral damage? If that happened to me, would that strip away my sense of dignity, or sense of worth? Would it strip away the belief that my loved one's life is AS EQUAL as anyone else's in this world? Maybe dignity IS intangible because of the sheer impossibility of describing how it must feel to step into your "house" after it has been reduced to rubble that can slip through your fingers. So AAG i believe you are absolutely correct, dignity is intangible - because it is a feeling deep inside that cannot be articulated in words. You stated that, "One can lose ones dignity at the expense of ones self. Not because another took it away." But don't we sometimes lose confidence in ourselves when someone abuses our trust in them - i.e., we suffer a loss of innocence? If that can be taken away, then why not one's sense of dignity as well?
You can ask for only that long...The Palestine, Kashmir, Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, Afghanistan and yes even 9/11 are results of asking...Our governments asking, asking, asking, looting, stealing, our leaders were and are capitalists...Just ask, no action...The U.S. and U.N., squint your eyes and you'd swear both are the same...Doing nothing except what the 'Veto'...What the heck is a 'Veto' anyways?...Is it like the good old days when the one with the biggest club was chief? Me chief, me 'Veto'...But some people need to be taught in the language they understand...Time for asking is over...How would you understand something I wrote in Urdu? You would try, but in the end, you'll bring out your Urdu-to-English dictionary and see what it means in your language, then you would be able to explain something to me in Urdu, such is the case...The languages though may vary, some you'd want understand, some you'd rather stay away from...:)

if youre referring to the Palestinians
they get frsutrated and have no choice
theyre houses are bulldozed n jewish settlements built in their place....whole families are killed.....what options is a person left with?
I Think AVG american girl .....u should pose the same question to .
The Jewish people who did the "king david hotel " bombing in 1964 , where more then 92 brits were murdered.
2.The tamil tigers who have murdered thousands of sri lankans without any mercy.
Golda meir PM israel who ordered the masacre of a refugee camp in palestine , not even spareing unborn children.
U should also pose the same question to the american government who dropped 5000 pound bombs in baghdad killing women children and innocent civilians .
For the people who lost there loved ones it was american terrorism but for america they were victims of "pre-emptive war".
so my dear its all a matter of prespectives , its not because of a religion or the people who are doing this are from another planet, what u see as green might seem red to me but both of us call it green.

Well put.
Why not call it red (instead of green) if you see it as red. I mean state terrorism by the zionist entity should be called exactly that and we should not use the "CNN" terminology of "reprisal" for the massacre of Palestinians by the occupiers.
