<< i never equated israeli civilian deaths to palestinian combatants and i would never equate palestinian civilian deaths to israeli combatants. >>

Here is where you get sneaky. You want to show an equality between the Israeli civilian deaths, which are caused by terrorist acts; and the Palestinian civilian deaths, which are caused by Israeli self defense. This is disingenuous and purposely misleading.

Why is this a problem to me? Because, before the problem of Middle East violence can be solved, one has to understand what is going on.

Israeli citizens have been attacked, by terrorists and Arab armies, for decades. To deny the terrible threat, from Arab hatreds, that confronts Israel daily, is ignorance.

So...... trying to cast equal blame upon Jews and Arabs is totally false and disregards history.

<< so don't ever get me wrong because i'm getting tired of your mudslinging. >>

Don't worry, I'll never get you wrong. <g>
