What do you think the West Bank is?

The West Bank is not one big refugee camp. Nor is keeping people away from the home they or their ancestors used to live in the same as "keeping them in refugee camps". Its not like Israel is shooting anyone who leaves the camps.

Either you don't understand the situation or you are playing games. Where do you want the Palestinians to live? They are from Palestine....do you want them to emigrate to Greece or Germany?

I want them to live where they can if they want to. "Elsewhere" meant outside of the camps not in Germany. You can be in the West Bank or Gaza and not be in a refugee camp. Millions of Palestinians also live in Jordan, some of them live in camps and some do not. My point was moving someone off one specific place is not the same as keeping them in another specific place. If a man gets evicted from his apartment and winds up in a shelter the former land lord isn't "keeping him in a shelter", even if the eviction was not justified.

Get real, Tim. You're playing semantic games.

I'm not playing games with obscure definitions or nit-picky semantic points. Words have meanings. It is simply not true that Sharon was found guilty in the way you describe. I might not focus as much on semantics if you didn't play fast and lose with the words you use. If you want to argue that Sharon has done immoral things in his life time I'd probably agree, if you want to argue that he was at least negligent in the Sabra and Shatilla situation I might also agree, if you want to say he was found guilty of slaughter or murder in this situation then your making a statement that is incorrect. I'm not support Sharon, just accuracy.
