Israeli Dead: 942 (21%)

Palestinian Dead: 3447 (79%)

Who's killing whom over there?

That's just the problem, the kill ratio is way out of whack. It's only 4:1.

It should be 100:1

Problem solved.

Who will represnt the US at Arafat's funeral?
I say we snub it.
NO representative of the US should be sent.
However, I am sure Jimmy Carter will attend.

The dog arafat died of aids from being a homosexual. Jerusalem belongs to the jews and they will never give it up, and nobody will ever be able to take from them. Put some ice on it.
