Amazing!\r\n\r\nBut I'll play along.\r\n\r\nFrom http:\/\/www.mfa.gov.il\/mfa\/go.asp?MFAH0ia50:\r\n\r\n&quot;918 people have been killed by Palestinian violence and terrorism since September 2000.\r\n\r\nBetween September 29, 2000 and January 1, 2004, Magen David Adom treated a total of 6,069 casualties as follows:\r\n807 killed, 521 severely injured, 742 moderately and 3,999 lightly injured, among them 11 MDA staff members.\r\n(IDF casualties treated by IDF medical personnel are not included in these figures.)\r\n\r\nNote: This list also includes 6 Israelis killed abroad in terror attacks directed specifically against Israeli targets, and 3 American diplomatic personnel killed in Gaza.&quot;\r\n\r\nAnd I'm willing to bet, T-Bone, the reason you won't find too many pictures of dead and injured Israeli kids is because the Israelis don't wave theri dead children around for PR purposes.\r\n\r\nAt http:\/\/www.ict.org.il\/articles\/articledet.cfm?articleid=439 you will find an extensive analysis of Palestinian vs. Israelis casualties.  The conclusion is this:\r\n\r\n&quot;What is significant in all these comparisons is, again, the contrast between the randomness of the pattern of Israeli fatalities and the more non-random distribution of Palestinian deaths. The random distribution is typical of terrorist attacks, which, though sometimes carried out in places frequented by young people, e.g. the Dolphinarium disco attack, may equally target restaurants or buses which are used by a wide spectrum of the population. Some of the most frequent targets of Palestinian terror attacks, such as open-air markets and public buses, are used disproportionately by the most vulnerable segments of society: women, the elderly, and the poor. \r\n\r\nThe fact that Palestinian deaths caused by Israeli actions do not, as a rule, follow the same pattern would seem to undermine claims that Israel deliberately targets Palestinian civilians.&quot;\r\n\r\nAt http:\/\/www.ict.org.il\/casualties_project\/stats_page.cfm there is a quick breakdown of  fatalities from 27 September 2000 through 16 December 2003.  It shows that Palestinians are responsible for a greater percentage of non-combatants deaths than is Israel.  Not surprising considering their chosen method of &quot;resistance&quot;:  blowing up public gathering places.\r\n\r\nnonanarchist\n\n*** This comment was posted from an IP associated with a disruptive poster.

The political atmosphere included an initiative for sending international observers to Bethlehem and Rafah and implementing the Mitchell report and a day before the attack there was a meeting between Yasser Arafat and the American consul in Jerusalem, which was a positive meeting.&quot;\r\n\r\nHmmm.  Could it be, could it POSSIBLY be, that Hex's heroes in Hamas don't WANT peace is the Middle East?  Could it be that all they want is dead Israelis?\r\n\r\nNo wonder Hex likes 'em so much.
