There was no massacre. Sorry. I know you wish there was, but if you believe there was then you simply haven't been paying attention. There's just too much evidence that says otherwise.

Even the initial estimates from the Israeli side are now considered high. The mass graves are missing, there are no bodies that add up to 500 dead like the Palestinians claimed.

It gets worse. A few days ago, I posted the story of those three Palestinian kids, acting on their own, who built some pipe bombs and took off for the nearest Israelis they could find. And who were shot and killed by Israeli police.

That happened on Tuesday. By Friday, Palestinian security forces had detained 20 other copy-cat children.

The incredibly intelligent USS Clueless points out that, if they could stop 20 other suiciding kids, then they also could have stopped at least some of the previous adult suicide missions. Arafat had claimed it was impossible. Now we know that is bullshit; they could stop the attacks if they wanted to. They just didn't want to.

Some people now say that since Arafat is contained and the PA in tatters, they can't be held responsible for preventing further suicide attacks. That, too, we now know is bullshit.

It's like I said; you don't believe Sharon, so you automatically believe the other side. You're going to look more and more silly if you continue this approach.
