33. Well, thank goodness there's no hypocrisy on the Israeli side.
"Palestinian civilians are hurt in the war"? The word is killed. Killed, not hurt. These are indigenous people whose land was taken from them by a foreign conqueror and given to other foreigners who are trying to push them off it. If that happened to you, you would do what they are doing.

The Sharon government and its supporters stick out their jaw and say that they have a right to do anything whatsoever, no holds barred, to defend their security. Then the tough guys dissolve into tears every time someone criticizes their actions. Their idea of fair treatment by the press is for Palestinians to be labeled terrorists by definition and for their own assassinations and atrocities to be described as giving the Palestinians candy.
