QUOTES AND QUICK NOTES
---------------------------------------------
I haven’t told this to anyone but in the midst of this operation, we assisted
a baby being born and evacuated an elderly woman who was injured and summoned a
local ambulance for her. Terrorists ran and fired from behind the ambulance.
Therefore, I do not want to make any comparison between our scale of values and
theirs.
“If my soldiers can assist a Palestinian woman giving birth when six of their
comrades have been blown to bits in the street but, at the same time, they fire
at us from behind an ambulance, you must understand that we are at opposite
ends of the scales of values. They are at the very bottom”.
- Colonel Eyal Eisenberg, commander of the Givati Brigade.

"Why is it that there's more indignation over a photo of a prisoner with
underwear on his head than over the video of a young American with no head at
all?"
- US Senator Zell Miller
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Terrorism is not an enemy. It is a method. It is the most sinister, brutal,
inhumane method of our age. But it is nonetheless just that: a method. You
cannot, and you do not, make war on a method. War is made on an identified -
and identifiable - enemy." How simple. The "War on Terror" is a phrase that we
use to hide the truth from ourselves . The western world is fighting an enemy
that it does not even have the courage - or maybe the common sense - to
name.....The battle is against militant Islam, not “Terror”"
— Andrew C. McCarthy, a former chief assistant U.S. attorney who led the 1995
terrorism prosecution against Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and eleven others

"[Arafat] made sure his subordinates understood very well when he was
interested in a ceasefire and when he was interested in terror attacks against
Israel."
- Tel Aviv District Court in its guilty verdict against PLO murderer Marwan
Barghouti
