Note that the civilians are being killed at a greater than two to one ratio of Military folks.

Note also that the above statistics do not include molotov coctail and rock throwing event fatalities or injurys, this is all guns and mortars.

Note also that this incredible ammount of attacks is from the people saying they want cash and land for peace, from and in a country that is one third the size of California.

Islam is a religion of piece.

So 1 out of every 1,000 Israelis have been injured or killed during the Intifada. Think of how many people live in your city, and how many dead/wounded that would be. Then think: "Would I accept this? Would I want to negotiate?"

How far from Goliath have come the Palestinians.

Now their cowardly focus is mainly on their murders of defenseless babies, children and the elderly at prayer.

[American in Israel]

That is a keeper! Thanks for the in-depth.

Of course! A teenager David whipped their best. So now they gotta concentrate on women and children.

None of you has no idea what these numbers really mean. Behind every victim whether it is a wounded person or a person who has been killed lies a whole world !!
Furthermore, there are always people who are what they call in the media shocked people . Formally they are considered slight wounded and in some cases are not even 'counted' .But that's the whole thing !those people will suffer for the rest of their lives watching these horrible pictures of terror!
The last thing I would do is give grades to this post.

Easy Ally.

You need to know who your friends are here on FR. American in Israel is one of them. The stats he presents here are great lines, or sound bites, to present to someone with a ten second attention span. The A-rabs have mastered this, and unfortunately we must be able to counter and parry in the same manner.
