    Israel Is A Terrorist State

    Take a look at the book in this link:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel:...ing_Viewpoints

    It is called "Israel: Opposing Viewpoints". The publishers selected specific arguments relevant to the middle east conflict, from both perspectives and published them in book form. The book is part of the ongoing 'Opposing Viewpoint' series and is distributed throughout the world and is contained in almost every school library from high school through the university level.

    Take a look at essay # 6 in the Second Chapter, 'Israel Is A Terrorist State.'

    I'm not trying to support one side or the other, but you've got to be careful with wikipedia, from my understanding, the information there is supplied by people on the web, and isn't nessesarily verified by anyone.

    that's true that anyone can edit it, although sometimes articles being vandalized are locked. one should keep that sceptic's frame of mind when absorbing information through any medium though, not just wikipedia.

    My point was that some of the information provided by Wikipedia has mearly been posted or edited by users. That's all.

    wikipedia is a nice place to find quick info. But it is not a credible source of information since anyone can go in and edit the articles. If Im lazy I use it as a source sometimes but only if the article has plenty of easily verifiable references.
