I can't remember where I read this, so folks I apologize for the lack of references for this statement. However, I saw the statistic that the casualties were extremely lopsided with many more Palestinians dead that Israelis since the Intifada began. Then right after that statistic, it showed how about 90% of the Palestinian dead were involved in armed conflict with Israeli soldiers or gunned down as they were attempting to kill Israeli civilians. The other less than 10% were collateral damage or disputed cases. Then of the smaller number of Israelis killed, something like 90% were civilian casualties from Palestinian terrorists. After I saw that, my heart went out to the Israelis who are told to show restraint by an ignorant Europe and an ignorant world. The Palestinians are murderers. The Israelis are just trying to protect themselves and are doing a great job of sparing civilians, whereas the Palestinians just target civilians. So I ask you all this: who do you want to win that war, people who have no regard for human life even their own, or people who make every attempt to spare life when possible and when not being directly threatened or attacked themselves?
