Thanks Cenk! (none / 0)
Another human scale analogy: Imagine that your neighbor has a dog who craps on your lawn. Instead of calling the dog catcher you get a Hummer and drive it into his living room, then back out and driveit into his kitchen, then you shoot his dog but don't stop there and you shoot his daughter and blow off his son's leg and rape his wife.  Yeah, that evens things up, just the way the Israelis even things up.

Put along side the list of people killed by Palestinian rockets in the last two years to the over 200 times the number of Palestinians killed by Israel. Then put along side a photograph of the rubble and ruin of a Palestine street a comparable phote of an Israel street. There aren't any such photos!

Israel is a pariah nation, and all the time they have been justifying their actions as defending their right to exist they have instead been convincing the world that they don't deserve to exist even if they have the right.

Some Numbers (none / 0)
2006 = "660 Palestinians had been killed during 2006, including 141 minors. The report claimed that at least 322 of those killed were not fighters."  "Palestinians killed 17 civilians, including one minor, and six members of the security forces."

Let's see 660 to 17 = 38.8 times more palestinians or

2007= "the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli security forces in 2007 stood at 373, of whom 53 were under 18. B'Tselem said its research showed about 35% of the dead were civilians who were not involved in fighting when they were killed." "There were 13 Israelis killed, of whom seven were civilians."

373 to 13 is 28.7 times more Palestinians killed than Israelis.

The current conflict 2008-2009:&nb sp;  "At least 524 Palestinians have been killed, at least a quarter of them civilians, a U.N. agency said.  Forty-two, mostly civilians, were killed on Sunday, a medical source said.
"Four Israelis have been killed by rockets and mortars fired into Israel since the offensive began and an Israeli soldier was killed in fighting on Sunday, and 48 were wounded after Israel expanded its operation into a ground invasion."
