Perhaps we should contemplate this philosophical question: was the Arab sympathy for Hitler, and open use of anti-semitic cliches, coupled with the stated determination to drive the Jews into the sea in a second Holocaust, too much or too little to generate Jewish distrust and aversion to Arabs? Was the willingness to deliberately target schoolchildren, as a "normal" tactic, and the continued preference for indiscriminate targeting of civilians, since the inception of the PLO, "too much or too little, or just right" to account for the implacability of the Jewish response to attacks? Funny how with all of the Arab powers arrayed against them, and many more Palestinian Arabs than Jews, the Israeli Jews end up somehow being portrayed as Goliath since the very inception of Israel. I guess they probably got what was coming to them in Eastern Europe, too.........

I don't know, Nadine. You seem to be the primary proponent of "two wrongs make a right" logic here, when it comes to Israel anyway, so I guess it's your call.

As for the "facts", as I said, you're welcome to come back with the official Israeli statistics. I sort of expect that around the time you come back with the official Israeli count of Lebanese casualties in Sharon's '82 war.
