>>The statistical difference in death rate says nothing except that the Isreali's have a better army ... both sides have many guilty parties, but many of the dead Isreali's were eating pizza or dancing, while the dead Palestinians were willingly on the front line of a war zone.<<

david, totally agree and this was the point. someone argued that there was no circle of violence between both parties. another person argued that palestinians were bad b/c they killed women and children.

both views are wrong. both sides kill, both sides kill women, both sides kill children. this is a "low key" war between a nation with a big war machine (required for survival!) and a kind of sort of nation of people not so well armed with a frustrated population and few whacko extremists that have sold their soul to evil.

war is an ugly thing for all involved parties

>>while the dead Palestinians were willingly on the front line of a war zone.<<

david, "some," not "the." some innocent palestians have been killed. please don't lump them in with the aggressors. that is not right.
