Brilliant post, Gus. It is amazing how the numbers killed by the Israelis consistently outnumber their own casualties, yet the American media only seems to hype up the Israeli deaths.

Simple if you attack someone with superior firepower more of your side are likely to die.

You said,

", yet the American media only seems to hype up the Israeli deaths."

That is pure BS.All I hear is the comparison as follows,"So far in the new Intafada the Palestinians have lost....,while the Israelis have lost...."

Sounds to me like they are looking for sympathy for the greater Arab deaths,by underscoring their greater number.

YOU hear what you want to hear.

Re <<It is amazing how the numbers killed by the Israelis consistently outnumber their own casualties>>

Pure numbers don't tell the whole story. A Palestinian's life is not nearly as valuable of a Israelis life. Don't you know, Palestinians are denger to the whole world. And don't forget they throw rocks!
