"Israelis" used suicide bombings too before they had better weapons. The Palestinians probably learned the tactic from them.


I don't know for sure but I suspect they also hid among civilians when the British came to try to round them up.


edit: Doesn't make it ok. But it's always true that the weaker opponents in a conflict tend to fight dirtier.

Not always true. I don't think any country occupied by the Nazis debased themselves the way the Palestinians do. Anyway those weaker countries certainly did not fight dirtier than their stronger occupiers.

The "Hiding behind civilians" phenom is a clever trap for the human brain.


Bad guy takes refuge behind innocents, or in some case dares live around some.
Good guy kills innocents trying to kill bad guy.
Bad guy gets blamed when innocents get killed. Good guy gets to say "see, look how bad they are."


EDIT: Now we live in a time when Good guys are immune from our opinions and here at home, 30,000 UAVs are getting ready to drop their bombs here.

Also, the stronger Serbs fought pretty dirty when they were going around throwing Croat babies in pits.

No, it's pretty much always the good guys that get blamed in this scenario. Mainly because they are excessively Jewish and everything is therefore their fault.

It's why the bad guys do it.

The Nazis actually weren't particularly dirty fighters. They were pretty good to western POWs, for instance. They had their share of war crimes but on the scale of things I don't think they rank all that high.


And you are kidding yourself if you think the resistance movements didn't hide among the civilian population. All resistance movements do.

I'd agree with the Jewish factor except I see it working for us Americans a little bit better than it works for Israel..

And when the oppressor killed innocents the resistance won.
