<< to the extent that the American public are simply not being told about Palestinians being killed. >>

I, also, would like to see the numbers, but I would like to see them broken down into the following categories:

- Number of Palestinians, attacking peaceful Israeli citizens, killed by Israeli forces.

- Number of Israelis, attacking peaceful Palestinian citizens, killed by Palestinian forces.

- Number of peaceful Palestinians blown up by Israeli bombs.

- Number of peaceful Israelis blown up by Palestinian bombs.

- Number of Palestinian restaurants, dances, malls, religious meetings, buses, attacked by Israel.

- Number of Israeli restaurants, dances, malls, religious meetings, buses, attacked by the Palestinians.

Numbers, by themselves mean nothing.

Individual Palestinians terrorists commit acts of terrorism as individuals. The Palestinian Authority knows nothing about these acts before they occur. Probably only the individual terrorist and a handful of his comrades know about the act before it occurs. So how could the PA warn anyone?

Israeli state terrorism is different! The Israeli state and Sharon's death squads commit their acts of terrorism against occupied Palestinian civilians. They destroy hundreds of homes of non-combatants. (the Israeli reservists are confirming these crimes and violations of the Geneva Convention). The illegal settlers are heavily armed by the Israeli government and encouraged by the Israeli government to commit acts of violence against the occupied Palestinian civilians. The building and occupation of these settlements by fanatic Orthodox Jews is a war crime under the Geneva Convention
The bottom line, the Zionist occupy and build settlements in Palestine because they want to expand and annex more Palestinian land to fulfill the Herzl doctrine!

Richard, I strongly suggest you read the following:

Message 17030988

to better understand why Sharon made that stupid recent acknowledgement (that he was sorry he did not give the order to shoot Arafat to the sharp shooter that had Arafat in his cross hair, after all, at the time, 1982, Arafat was just another combatant in a terrorist organization). Arafat is still committed to the destruction of the state of Israel, as he has been before Oslo, to him, Oslo is just one tactical step, and the agreement can be torn once it served its purpose (giving Arafat a base from which to launch the next step in the long term strategy).

Can you point to even one case where the Palestinians have warned Israelis to get out of a building before they blew it up?

I can't say that I have.

I wish we could get Al Jazeera on U.S. cable and satellite services.
