Ah, yes, more lies. In reality, the violence of the Intifada began when Sharon went to the Muslim holy site with 1000 troops, in a display of aggression. The next day, Israeli troops fired into a crowd of unarmed Palestinian demonstrators, killing several people. That began the cycle of violence. Now, that by itself did not provoke the suicide bombers. This was followed by a one month orgy of Israeli violence, including settler mobs rampaging through Palestinian villages. Then, the first suicide bombers struck. But of course, you reserve your sanctimonious words, "There was no justification for turning to terror" for the Palestinians. You do not apply those words to the Israelis, who are the ones who turned to terror when the Palestinians refused to concede the land which is their legal right (UN 242). Tom
