>Yes, but in the US the issue would have been taken to court and resolved by this time. The problem is that the Palestinians have zero rights. No question the suicide bombings are inexcusable but I now wonder which came first the chicken or the grenade. My question is- which chicken? Z, I am not sure what you mean. I substituted a grenade for an egg from an old saying because they are about the same size and to make the old saying fit the scene. I guess I don't get your question. >However, a guy.....an American Jew......from Amnesty International complained of the heavy handed treatment by the Israelis. Nearly all of the human rights groups are radically left-wing and hate Israel. They all complain of massacres committed by Israeli soldiers, but none can prove any at all. I knew that they tend to be left wing.....so I was watching how he presented the info very carefully. He seemed balanced and measured in his complaints. He said his worst complaint was that his ambulances and medical people were stopped by Israeli soldiers and not allowed to get to where the injured and dead were lying. The Israeli representative present on the show was unable to rebuke that claim. However, that same representative was able to rebuke most of the claims of the Palestinian MD who also was on the program. BTW, they showed the Palestinian man whose neck had cigarette burns......but they could have been self inflicted. I can't say that all of the soldiers are wonderful people or that they all treat the Palestinians wonderfully, but I will say that that's not part of their mission and many of the soldiers that violate the rules end up in jail. The Israeli rep. said they were under strict orders to only go after suspected terrorist members. However, there was evidence shown on the show that would indicate otherwise. On the other side, committing atrocities is the entire mission of the fighters. Huh? Doesn't that contradict what you said above? This is supposed to be more a police action.......however, whether it is or isn't, there is no room for atrocities. Its bad enough countries on the level of the Serbs commit such atrocities but Israel should be above that sh*t. Unfortunately, the hate is so great. Every show where a Palestinian and an Israeli are present, the hate and anger are very clear and there is no stopping it.........they are ready to kill each other. ted
