T. B. "If Israel's policy was to kill everyone who didn't like them, there would have been no Palestinians for a generation now." I truly believe that statement is some sort of debate tactic, and you don't believe it. That the only way ethnic cleansing works is to kill everyone all at once. Nothing else could be ethnic cleansing. I have more faith in you than that.

Prior to the year 2000, when the suicide bombings started, there were 25 Palestinians killed by the Israeli army for every 1 Israeli killed.

25 to 1. Year in and year out.

Those are losses which amount to a slaughter, I think you'll have to agree. No matter who is inflicting them, or receiving them, they are unsustainable. And when it's an army with air, artillery, and armor inflicting them on a civilian population with small arms only, it's an obvious slaughter.

Now that the Palestinians been suicide bombing, their losses are still 3 and 4 to 1.

Talk to an orthodox Jew, and they'll say that their complete and sole occupation of "Israel" is ordained by God and any length they have to go to is a directive from God.

No matter what the cost to Palestinians.

It seems obvious the Israelis are getting rid of the Palestinians as fast as they can, with US assistance, and is ignoring UN resolutions in the process, again with US assistance.

Unlike Iraq. Where GWB & Co. seemed to think UN resolutions were direct orders from God.

Go figure.
