ok, I can't really say for certain what you have seen, but from my experience I see a lot more Israeli sympathy than the other way around, I would like to see more Palestinian opinion in the mainstream.

Tim

well... all i can say is that from my experience, pro-israeli people think there is a bias against them and want to see more pro-isreali in the mainstream, and pro-palestinean people think there is a bias against them and want to see more pro-palestinean in the mainstream. from an objective standpoint, i think we're fine in terms of balance of mainstream time. i see plenty of anti both sides. palestineans bomb some place, israelis destroy some camp. there isn't that much pro-anyside.

Now they're killing retarded people.

Is there any evidence that the Israelis knew he was mentally challenged? If not then your statement is misleading.

That's right, Sharon just ordered the IDF to go kill all mentally challanged Palestinians.

I think the Palestinians call them freedom fighters or martyrs and Israelis call them terrorists

One Israeli was also killed.

Question. Why is it that every Palestinian fighter is considered a 'terrorist,' as opposed to militant or freedom fighter? Is it semantics and/or politics.

I read the whole article. Not once were the Palestinians called terrorists.

"These operations were an attempt by the Israeli Government to escape corruption accusations and influence the Israeli electoral campaign by perpetrating more killings, destruction and state terrorism in the territories," Mr Erekat told the AFP news agency.

That is the only time the word terrorism is used.

Well, it's just my opinion, but I don'tt hink they are fighting for anything, they just believe in killing their enemies. If what they really wanted was a country of their own they had one and screwed up, and they could have had another one a long time ago, if they didn't enjoy killing so much.

I'm sure there are Palestinians who want peace, but there apparently aren't enough of them.

How did the Palestinians screw up their country? I have not heard that propaganda before.....
