    Check your facts, Israel is a small country enagaged in a war for our very survival. 2 weeks ago in the middle of a so called "cease fire" a palistinian man dressed up as a religous Jew and got onto the Jerusalem #2 bus, filled with families and blew it up. He killed 21 people including 6 children and put over a hundred into the hopital. I live in Jerusalem, and I worry everytime I get onto a bus.

    Israel does not target civilians, it targets the leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad who are engaged in attempts to murder as many Jews as posible. Yes they often life in populated areas, and yes when we attack them sometimes civilians get hurt or killed.

    You should note that the Geneva Conventions specifily say you can not hide parties to a war in a civilian population to protect them. And if you do it is on your head the damage caused.

    Israel has risked its very existance for a so called pease, and for our trouble have had to deal with a constant stream of morters and bombs falling on our population centers.

    If Arafat had wanted peace it has been offered to him a number of times, and he has rejected it every time. The Palistinian schools teach hate, and most of the Arabs don't even recognise that there is a Jewish state here, prefering to refer to us as the "Zionist Entity".

    You say Israel has:

    250 nuclear weapons that makes it a rival to China,

    Later, after an amusing bit of zoology, you predict: ... Zionism will self destruct on our life time.

    Which brings the question:

    Why do you hate Israel's arab neighbours so ? If such a raving lunatic (as you say) with 250 nukes (as you claim) will self destruct (as you hope), won't it take its Arab neighbours with it ?

    I would think every sane Arab should prey to Allah that Israel is never destroyed ...

    Or is that kind of reasoning too difficult for you ?

    Of caurse, the Sabrah & Shatilla massacre was actually done by lebanese christians ... But let's not get facts in the way of bias ...

    really? not only he is a convicted war criminal but he is still actively murdering people, and yes my statement about him describes him accurately.
