Robert > Saudi is caught between it's hatred of Jews and Christians and it's fear of the Iran funded Islamic terrorist groups. It's interesting to see the Saudi's openly criticize Hizbollah.

I agree.

... here's a website that gives statistics about Palestinian v Israeli children killed since 2000.

ifamericansknew.org

>>“The majority of these [Palestinian] children were killed and injured while going about normal daily activities, such as going to school, playing, shopping, or simply being in their homes. Sixty-four percent of children killed during the first six months of 2003 died as a result of Israeli air and ground attacks, or from indiscriminate fire from Israeli soldiers.”<<

In such circumstances of 734 Palestinian children being killed I would say the term "horrific numbers" is entirely justified. And further, I would suggest that the 121 Israeli children who died is also terrible and unnecessary.

The same URL gives other statistics related to the conflict.
