Skeets, I am not saying the Israelis are innocent of everything and I am sure that the Israelis have sometimes shot at and killed non-belligerents and non-violent protesters. The Israelis are also to blame for trying to have their cake and eat it too with the settlements.

But I am also sure that the PA, in league with Hamas and Islamic jihad, have been waging a guerilla war against Israel and the occupation. This war has two fronts: on the ground and in world opinion.

In the world opinion front, the main weapon is pictures of dead kids, so the Palestinians have been very willing to take large numbers of casualties, while trying to control the pictures that come out -- take pictures of the kids with rocks, not the gunmen with grenades. Just as they are stopping the pictures of the pro bin Laden rallies right now.

I don't have knowledge of one particular incident or another. But did you notice that the electronicintifada noted who of the Israelis "terrorists" had been brought to court and sentenced, and who had not? Let me just ask you, do you think the PA has brought a single Palestinian terrorist to court in the last year? A: Of course not, they're "heroes".

BTW, did you read the ben-Ami interview? Do you think that Arafat began this intifada for the last 2% of the West Bank that wasn't already offered to him?
