This stuff real boils my blood....hit them with missiles, kill the kids, assassinate anyone they want to, destroy their homes, destroy their infrastructure with their tanks, keep them in concentration camps and occupy their lands with crazy fundamentalists...that is what the world is seeing of the Israeli state. This is the new holocaust pushing the Holocaust from the world's memory. Then you are seeing propaganda, not reality. The kid-killing is the Palestinian strategy, not the Israeli strategy. If the Israelis kill kids, they lose. If they do nothing, they lose. So they are trying to kill only the terrorists, which is difficult. 95% of Israeli casualties are non-combatants, 80% of Palestinian casualties are combatants. There are no concentration camps, except the refugee camps that the UNWRA has been running for fifty years. There are just Arab towns. The settlements that everyone keeps yelling about are 2% of the territories. During the same period the Palestinians kept yelling about 100,000 new "settlers", 500,000 Palestinians immigrated into the West Bank. If the Israelis were interested in creating a "holocaust", there would be a lot more than 2,000 dead during the last 10 years. "Holocaust" is a word used by Arabs and Europeans eager to shed their guilty past. How come there are 120,000 dead in Algeria in the last 10 years but no one uses the word "holocaust" there?
