Who - the Israelis? I thought they only used missiles on people in
wheel chairs?

What, terrorists can't ride around in wheel chairs? That should help
us narrow our search for these crazies. Only wheel chair incident I
recall is when the Arabs pushed a Jewish man in a wheel chair off a
cruise boat. Now that's a brave thing to do.

Yes, "The Arabs" did that. Everyone of them, via their elected
representatives and officially inducted military. Oh, wait, no, it was
just a couple of nuts. It's the elected representatives and officially
inducted military of *Israel* that kills, maims and bulldozes innocents.

No, the Israeli army protects it's citizens. Unfortunately the 'couple'
of nuts you mentioned is the pervasive mentality of the Palestinians.
For many years, their goal was to kill all Jews or push them into the
Mediterranean. I think that now they realize that cannot happen and
hopefully they will reach some kind of accomodation with Israel.



And bulldozers on pacifists with bullhorns.

I keep hearing this story about the poor pacifist who put herself in
front of a bulldozer. Not a very smart thing to do. This ranks with
people who step in front of speeding trains.

As for statistics about deaths on both sides, the Israelis do kill
Palestinians who are firing on them or throwing molotov cocktails, but
that does not compare with people who sit around and plan for weeks in
advance how to kill innocent civilians.

The death toll for Palestinian CHILDREN is FOUR TIMES that of Israelis.

Much of that is because the terrorists use children as human shields.



Some of Israel's security
measures, like building walls, may seem extreme to some people, but
try and imagine yourself living there under a constant threat of
terrorist attack.

Try living for 38 years under military occupation. At this point, it's
EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES FOR A MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION.

There are all kinds of military occupations. Certainly the USA occupation of Japan
and Germany was not the same as the German and Japanese occupation of the
countries they occupied. The Palestinians who obey the law and do not engage in
terrorism do not fear for their lives. Their biggest problem is economic. Their rich
cousins in the Gulf states send meager amounts of money that seem to always wind
up in Yasser Arafat's Swiss Accounts, or go to buying weapons.



Until the Palestinians
can show they have control of their own population, there is no
trusting them on security issues.

How many investigations of espionage and treason involving the
Palestinians have been conducted or are underway?

A lot more than any investigations the Palestinians are doing of
their terrorists.
