Why don't you just answer the question?

"All the Israeli soldiers and settlers must leave the occupied territories."

Tell us, why are the Israeli forces in the "occupied territories"?
How is their leaving, considered justified?
Where else in the history of the world, does a defeated aggressor get to dictate terms.

If the Palestinians wished to be treated with respect - they should not have declared their radical Islamic hatred for everything non-Islamic....
They may not behave as murdering bastards in the evening, and demand to be treated as choir girls in the morning...

War is a bitch....losing is worse.

I only remarked upon one of your patently idiotic and prima fascia untruths, of which you, yourself, posted on your name Sir, and went specifically unanswered. Cute, in if one was a ten year old debater, but obvious and in this league, pathetic.

Yes I was rational. Thank you. As to me being an apologist for the Jews or anyone else, wrong. Furthermore, as a felonious enlistee and eventual SF sergeant, who’s father lost his arm at the Remagen Bridge as a up from the ranks Major(unlike the servile Irish who couldn’t wait to be Hitler’s gardeners), who’s family has been every conflict since the revolution, I am more than aware of the behavior of men in war, including Americans.

Still though, keep it up, your every word condemns your argument, but that you lack the intellect to perceive it. Ah, to have the mind of a mullet, what peace it must be.

By the way, did anyone catch the Saturday Night Live piece on the French last night? Priceless. Could you give us a short version?

Having a problem dealing with the truth? Israelis are every bit as brutal as they claim Palestinians are.

You're extremely delusional.

In this tiny battlefield the radicals not only resisted the might of the Israeli army longer than the combined Arab armies did in the 1967 six-day war, but turned themselves and their militant cause into the stuff of instant Palestinian legend.

Oh, puh-leaze... What the author "forgets" to mention is that the reason it took the Israelis so long is because they were trying to minimize civilian casualties, which wasn't a problem in the open-desert warfare against the "Arab armies".

If Israel had cared as little about civilian casualties as the Palestinians (or more accurately, if they had been trying to *maximize* civilian casualties like the Palestinians do), they could have finished this operation in less than 30 minutes of carpet-bombing and shelling.

The author is trying to twist the Israeli's mercy into some kind of Palestinian military triumph.

How can any intelligent person read this and not recognize the propaganda?

Well his friends said this happened so it must be true. Especially since the only ones who remained behind were those terrorists who chose to stay behind to fight the IDF. So one can only conclude that his "friends" were those terrorists who remained behind to fight. So I guess we'll just have to take the word of those terrorists for what happened to this unfortunate diabetic who was not a terrorist fighter but unable to leave as warned due to his condition. Funny, most diabetics I know move about freely. And those who can't get help from their family and friends.

Wow, I am becoming very calous. I read the article and still think there weren't enough killed in Jenin.

The previous statement is from a person who is half Arab.

delight in the spilling of innocent blood?

The recipe calls for three cups of sugar and innocent blood. You don't like it, make your own pastries.

I never thought I would live, to see the day such propaganda smut, worthy of Goebbels or Stalin's henchmen, printed in English in what once was a reputable publication.

If this is what Western civilization has come to, maybe these authors are right and we should just lie down and let the Muslims kill us.

Israeli soldiers watched. They separated Europeans from Palestinians. Israeli bulldozers bulldozed mounds of dead bodies even while the massacres were going on.

What is your source for this?

One massive daisy cutter would have done it. Next time, let us do that and forget trying to spare these ungrateful wretches.
