>>Obviously, suicide bomb attacks against civilians is not part of the Palestinian culture, nor is it part of the Arab culture. That is why it happens so rarely. If this tactic was popular, we wouldn't have any Israeli left.<<

That depends upon your definition of rarely. What does not get reported in the U.S. press is the numbers of suicide bombers that get intercepted each week before they can carry out their mission.

>>Arabs outnumber Israelis by a significant margin<<

And the Israeli Arabs who live in Israel are generally peaceful. Keep in mind if the Israelis are as brutal as you seem to believe, there would be no Palestinians left.

Then you shouldn't be here. You're about as immoderate as they come.

What do you call the seven people killed and twenty wounded today at the Ashdod massacre? These attacks happen on a monthly basis. Is that what you consider "rare".
