A) Fine, you don't know me either, so I hardly think you are the one to judge my honesty. I don't agree with your opinions, but I won't call you a liar because I don't know you personally... and I don't judge people based simply upon differing opinions. So maybe you should take a look in the mirror and judge yourself rather than a total stranger. B) Right, so you are making an assumption by looking at numbers as to where the settlers ended up. I'm not angry with you because you assumed wrong. My original post in this matter wasn't even directed at you, I was talking to someone else. I think you are just acting like a child by sitting behind a computer screen picking fights because you don't have to see that person face-to-face. My point is, I have no problem talking with you, not even when we are in disagreement. I believe in the democratic idea that people don't always have to agree to take part in the same discussion. But if you are going to cry "liar" everytime someone offers up a different opinion, then what is the point of this conversation? Maybe you are lying to me? I don't know, but I'll give you the benefit of a doubt that you are probably being sincere in what you say. I'm just asking for the same respect, that's all.

A) I indirectly called you a liar because I called shenanigans on your original story that even another poster thought was far fetched. From there we have spiraled through many other topics on the overall issue. However, don't try to take the high ground now, you have numerous times called me a racist-pig among other English and Hebrew names. Also, for the record I am not afraid of confrontation, I would have called you out in public if you mentioned the same story in front of me.
However, I doubt you would have so quickly jumped into name calling.
B) I gave you many sources for my claim. I think those support themselves without further recourse.
I also am quite comfortable going over these details, but, just look back at our posts. I don't think one has gone by where you have not derailed the discussion by attacking my character and tried to make this a personal issue. In fact most of your talks have been similar to the "When did you last beat your wife?" strategy. Problem is I just ignored the childish attacks and continued on topic.
Also, I didn't deny that there are families in Palestine that fit your story. As I said before, your original post was more of a generalization trying to propugate the myth that all Palestinians (Arabs by association) train their kids to kill and plan for them to be martyrs. Its just idiotic and grossly untrue.
