>>>They are not Jewish" is not enough [as proof of prejudice], I am afraid."<<< "Not enough" for you, but "enough" for me. Then you and I do not have the same definition of 'prejudice' and 'proof'. Consider that you believe "Israel has refused to act", while I believe that Israel has acted and there is no "unfinished business." OK, let us consider just that. An Israeli Commission of Inquiry found Sharon indirectly responsible. He was forced to resign. Was the issue taken to court later? No. Was anyone taken to court over this crime of war? Nope. So your assertion of "no unfinished business" is wrong, if we are talking about a country where there are courts that prosecute persons found responsible in a crime. And no, "indirectly responsible" is not the same thing as "innocent". Should they [Israeli army] have entered the camps and engaged in a firefight with the Phalangists to stop the killing? Calling their dogs back would be a start. Instead, they didn't even say "Come on out, guys, the fun is over". Three days, Carl. Killing went on for three days. And the Israeli army knew it was going on. I am sorry to say this but I feel your judgement is clouded by your religious affinity to Israeli soldiers. You most likely would not be as supportive of, say, the Serbian army if it were the Bosnian women and children being massacred by some bloodthirsty thugs they let into a Bosnian village and watched as the latter went on a three-day killing spree.
