>>"If the Israelis did consider the Palestinians less than human and easy to kill, they could have retaliated for the suicide bombings by, say, flattening Jenin with heavy artillery as the Russians did Grozny. Easily, anytime they liked. Why didn't they?"<<

Geez, are you suggesting that what the Russians did to Grozny, probably inhuman, and a Jenin massacre by Israel would be the same in terms of world (American) opinion? There is clearly one example where Israel had better have been at least 10 times better. World (American) opinion does matter more to Israel. If it did not, Arafat would have been dead long ago and Jenin would have been flattened by this government.
