From the horse's mouth: <<< The record of Israeli terrorism, however, is substantial, far too extensive even to attempt to sample here. A small glimpse into the reality was given by Prime Minister Menahem Begin in a letter published in the Israeli press in August 1981, written in response to what he regarded as hypocritical criticism of the Israeli bombing of Beirut, which killed hundreds of civilians. Begin offered a "partial list" of military attacks on Arab civilians under the Labor governments, which included over 30 separate episodes that left many civilians dead. He concluded that "under the Alignment government, there were regular retaliatory actions against civilian Arab populations; the air force operated against them; the damage was directed against such structures as the canal, bridges and transport." >>> thirdworldtraveler.com.

This is a morally bankrupt argument and I can't believe that any thinking person would see it as anything else. There is no comparison between the routine, intentional targeting of civilians by Palestinian terrorists (and I would argue that the brainwashed suicide bombers are themselves victims of Palestinian terrorism, as they been convinced by the true Palestinian terrorists to believe what they are doing is honorable) and civilian casulaties at Israel's hands in its attempts to defend itself from Palestinian murderers. Huh? Did it never dawn on you that Palestine is defending itself against Israel? The Israelis are the superpower, not the Palestinians. There is more Palestinian blood on the hands of the Israelis than visa versa. You take one small slice of history and make a judgement based on the limited information that slice provides........very scientific.
