| superchunk said: C) When did I say anything about my support of the removal of Israel? I specifically only mentioned backing up to the green line. Which is all that the world recognizes as legal Israeli land. Nor did I claim there weren't those that wanted to push them into the sea, all I said was that not recognizing its existance in maps, etc, is not the same thing as calling for its destruction via the education system in Palestine. I fully support a two-state solution. Problem is too many 'racists-pigs' on both sides of the fence won't allow it to happen. You've got Hamas and others killing civilians whenever they can because they've diluted their morality to consider all of Jewish people punishable for the crimes of their leaders and settlers. Then you have the hardline religious zealots jews who want to continue the illegal settlement expansion to push out the arabs so they can regain all of ancient Israel plus the daily aparthied actions against the palestinian populace from settlers and soldiers alike. Top that off with the completely genocidal idea that its ok to bomb an entire apartment building because you want to kill one military leader. Its exactly the same on both sides. Unfortunately niave Americans refuse to actually read about the history for themselves and instead trust CNN/Fox and so on to give them a 'fair and balanced' protrayal of the situation. D) I provided a couple nonArab links to Final-Fan regarding the settler terrorist actions. You just choose to ignore them. Hell, just read Israeli newspapers for enough evidence to prove yourself wrong. It happens. Sure not 100% of settlers are like this, but the greater majority are the same as Hamas' mentality. Just hit up Google news and search. Face it, US media doesn't show you everything. Hell it doesn't even show you even half of the murders, rapes, etc in our own country, why would you think it would show the the countless actions of settlers? That's just being niave. As I said, a rocket launch or the rare killing of an Israeli is reported. BUt, the daily mistreatment and attacks on Palestinians is almost completely ignored by US media. Just today when I was watching CNN. It talked in great detail about the 4 Israeli civilians who have lost their lives due to rockets. Yet, it only had one statement in passing to the over 400 Gaza civilians who have died from Israeli bombings on apartment buildings. However, it did show right after that a partial briefing of the Israeli foriegn minister talking about how hard they try to not killing innocent bystanders. yeah, right. Same mentality. Both sides are largly pushed by terrorists, who are actually the minority.

Just to clarify, in the recent war only around 60-80 civilians have been killed as collateral in Israeli airstrikes according to the UN. The 400 number includes the over 300 terrorists and other various Hamas members the airstrikes have killed.
