Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "... isn't it the Geneva Conventions ..." Since we don't provide weapons for the Palestinians we don't have to worry so much about what they do. This is simple morality. Take care of the 2x4 in your own eye before you complain about the splinter in someone else's.

Re: "Yes, there have been a small number of killings by Israeli extremists. Considering the proportion of casualties they have suffered, aren't you suprised to have seen only a handful of incidents?" No. Especially as Israel's policy moves more to the right. You typically only see extremists take the law into their own hands when their government refuses to do what they want it to. When the government is run by extremists the extremists don't have a problem with it, so they don't take things into their own hands.
