Is the US of A a legitimate target?

[Indofred]

America supports and arms Israel.
Israel commits mass murder and is at war with at least one pretty much unarmed state that is totally unable to defend itself against attacks.

Given the US supplies most of Israeli's arms and financially supports that government, would future attacks against the US be legitimate?

Personally, I believe attacks on the states are acceptable but I would prefer there be be economic damage and disruption only, not deaths.

Opinion?

That would make sense since Iran is the bad guy for supporting Palestinian resistance to Israel's occupation.

Every nation is a "legitimate" target to their enemies.

Seriously the question really doesn't make much sense.

Given I'm asking for opinions, anyone who wishes to reply.
I believe America has painted a target on its own back and it's just a bit of hard luck if someone fires at it.

America is the attacking force in at least two countries and the arms supplier to the attacking force in a third.
I believe that is justification for any group concerned to attack America.

Perhaps you could give reasons why I'm wrong.

Since when have islamic extremists sought legitimate targets?

I don't believe I mentioned extremists, just freedom fighters attacking the US.

 

[Katzndogz]

The US would be a target even if it didn't support Israel. India doesn't support Israel, but it had the attack in Mumbai and Kashmir is a legitimate muslim target. Bali doesn't support Israel. The nightclub bombings in Germany weren't because of Israel. Likewise, terrorist activity in China and Russia don't concern Israel in the slightest.

In other words...terrorists. Say what you mean. No need to be coy.

 

[Katzndogz]

Terrorists already think the US is a legitimate target. Muslims are just not a significant enough percentage of the population to do damage. They have a while to wait yet.

Self defense is not murder.

This is a dishonest thread from the opening post.

The US is rich and powerful. They will always be a target for those who are envious. Despots and dictators require resources and money to remain in power. Israel and the US have both.

The legitimacy of any target is in the eye of the attacker.

You post is timely. I was going to pose the question if I sell you a gun and I know you are going to shot someone with it am I liable? Then again if I sell you a gun and I know you are going to protect your home with it am I to blame if you shoot a burglar?

 

[Katzndogz]

To the morally confused left there is no such thing as self defense. It's unnecessary. To the muslim sympathizer, the infidel deserves to die so the proper method of self defense is conversion to islam.

I assume you also refer to the Taliban as 'freedom fighters'. Explain to us why, then, they target young girls who seek an education.

Intent and motivation are always key factors that must be accounted for when dealing with issues such as these. We sell weapons to Israel so that she may defend herself. Iran provides weapons to Hamas for the purpose of indiscriminate killing and promoting terror.

The defenders of Hamas and the Palestinian cause argue that Hamas and the Palestinians should be permitted to attack Israel without consequence. This is the equivelent of My neighbor coming to Me and getting his ass kicked when he attacks one of My family, and then going to the other neighbors and complaining that I am fighting back and that he should be allowed to just beat on Me without My fighting back. And then blaming My Tae su Muk Su instructor for teaching Me how to defend Myself.

The entire argument is ludicrous.

We all wish we could live in a world were everyone just got along and we had no need for weapons that kill people. We do not.

Israel has the right to exist. They have the right to defend themselves. What matters is that the world seems to look the other way when the Palestinians leadership intentionally gets their people killed, so that they can get more aid from the rest of the world.

Stop the rocket attacks on Israel, and the retaliation stops. It is not rocket surgery.

Yes.

Exactly what I said. Indofred said he'd prefer attacks that don't kill anyone. I said Islamic terrorists like to kill people.
