I have a met a few and often read of Israelis that speak out against the violence and despair of PA deaths, publicly. For an Arab person living in PA land to publicly express themselves similarly is to sign their own death warrant. I have never seen PA suffering in Israel celebrated, but the opposite is always true on the Palestinian side.

Are you going to change the subject forever to avoid accepting that you were wrong in claiming Israel does not target civilians? Or will you be a man (and an honest intellectual) and accept it, then move on to other issues? This is what I wrote in the post you replied to: Stop changing the subject. You claimed Israel does not target civilians. I reminded you that it does, with examples. Accept it. Then we can go on to discuss whatever other issue your heart desires, including concern or its lack thereof for the dead. And your answer to that is: Were you horrified that Americans who were advancing Palestinian education were slaughtered in Gaza? ... which of course has NOTHING to do with the post you answered. To answer your question, yes, I was sad more people were killed in this conflict. Some of us don't care what nationalities victims possess to feel sorry for them and their loved ones. You see? THIS is how you answer a post - by REPLYING to the ISSUES it raises. NOT by ignoring them completely and thinking you escape them by raising your own, irrelevant, questions. Now answer me. Do you accept that you were wrong in claiming Israel does not target civilians? If not, make sure your statement includes WHY you think the Israeli soldiers who SAY Palestinian civilians are targeted must be wrong.
