And clearly, Bill's statement "The Israelis, who are the ones who get killed..." is wrong. No, Bill was discussing American attitudes vs Israeli ones; he was not including the Palestinians in the comparison. His words did not imply that only Israelis were getting killed.

<< You know what they say now - Israel has tanks and missiles, but we have people willing to die. >> The Palestinians also have people that are willing to kill men, women and children. Do you realize what would happen to the citizens of Israel if they didn't have the weapons to defend themselves against terrorism? The Israelis would all be dead right now. Thank God for Israeli tanks and missiles! << Clearly, more Palestinians than Israelis are dying in this conflict. >> What type of Palestinians are dying? Bombers and murderers. What types of Israelis are dying? School children, families shopping at malls, families riding buses, families eating at restaurants, teenage girls at a dance. Oh, I know..... In your confused mind, you will say that some Palestinians, other than bombers and murderers have also been killed. And, in your own way, this will be justification to you, that the terrorists are right and the Israelis are wrong. Do you ever read or understand the news or do historical research?
