To be strictly fair (and with nine posts you may not realise that I have a bit of a pro-Arab reputation on this forum - sufficient to be known to some as Abu Jacko) it must be pointed out that the Israelis have suffered attrocities as well as dealing them out.
Not to have some sympathy for a very brave and courageous bunch (who happen to be led by Donkeys) seems harsh, though like you (I suspect) I am completely out of sympathy with an Israeli Government which refuses to compromise and which seems to regard nothing as being too harsh to mete out to the indigenous Arab population of the land it occupies - much of it seized by force of arms.
