Totally untrue - I've often commented on how I do not particularly like Sharon. However, compared to Arafat and those terrorists you defend, he's mother theresa.

If there were no terror, it's likely a centrist party would win in Israel. Sharon's current unilateral withdrawal sounds like a bold move. If the terrorists will not stop, then go back to defensible borders and let the slime stew. Eventually, Palestinians will kick out Arafat and make peace, which is what the vast majority of Israelis want.

Your refusal to condemn terror that targets Israeli civilians is a badge of dishonor. You have no right to even ask about logic or what is right.

I hate to see innocent Palestinians die. However, it is mostly by their own hand and by the tactics of their leaders who keep them in poverty and set up schools of hate.

By the way, whose action caused the collapse of Lebanon?

The PLO, when they invaded post September 1970.

Who was in charge of the soldiers that wiped out the village there?

Which wipeout would that be? There were many (cf. Damour 1974). But let me guess, you're talking about Sabra and Shatilla. Who was in charge of the soliders who marauded through the camps? Their commander, Elie Hobeicka.

What? you didn't know that it was the Phalangists who commited the massacre and not the Israelis? Why am I not surprised.

Have you ever read a history book in your life?

Palestine? what Palestine?, you mean Israel which the Romans renamed Palestine?

Kinda like St Petersburg, isn't it.

Of course, my Russian history is a little rusty, but I seem to recall that Stalingrad and Leningrad reverted back to their historical names, much like modern day Israel.
