Why do you say that the purpose of the Israeli actions you refer to is to provoke the Palestinians? What would be in it for the Israelis to deliberately make Palestinians angry with them?

<< Tanks, machine gun toting soldiers, F-16s, attack helicopters, etc. humiliate and kill Palestinian civilians every day. >> You should make your propaganda a little harder to disprove. Obviously you don't care if people believe you, as long as you can push your hatred of Israel. "In retaliation, Israel Air Force helicopters fired four missiles and destroyed the Palestinian Naval Police headquarters ... Prior to the attack, Palestinians were notified and cleared the building." jpost.com The Palestinians target innocent civilians. What do the savage, nasty Jews do in response? They call the Palestinians, tell them to get out of a building, and then bomb the building. So, what is the moral of this story. Its........ Either you are for the Palestinians or for the Jews, PERIOD! The truth doesn't matter to most people outside of Israel. Palestinians have continued to celebrate the bombing of the World Trade Centers, and the world doesn't care, because this is normal Palestinian behaviour. The Palestinians kill and maim many Jewish citizens, but the world doesn't care, because this is normal Palestinian behaviour. But, Israel strike back by killing a known Palestinian militant, or by destroying a terrorist building, and the world screams FOUL!!!

<< The settlers themselves frequently go on rampages, attacking Palestinians and their property. >> I wish this was true, but it isn't. Perhaps it would give the Palestinians a taste of their own medicine. Or.... are you saying that the Palestinians are too stupid to use these attacks as propaganda against Israel? Why do the Palestinians keep these attacks so secret? Why are you the only one on the planet that has access to all this information against Israel? Where are you pulling all these facts out of? <g>
