UT dude, with your last message you show you really lost the plot, sharing your website co-owner Bruce's emotional reasoning.

Some more facts you wish to ignore:

The Israeli army’s widespread destruction of schools, the forced closure of educational institutes, the ever- present danger to school children and staff attempting to continue normal education, together demonstrate the Israeli government’s complete violation of the right of Palestinian children to an education. For example:

* Since September 2000:
→ 2,610 pupils have been wounded on their way to or from school;
→ 245 Palestinian students and school children have been killed and 166 students and 75 teachers have been arrested
* Between January and July 2002, Israeli military forces occupied 18 schools in the West Bank, converting them to military bases or prisons;
* In Hebron alone, four schools have been converted to military bases, with three still under Israeli control (as of December 2002), denying 1,920 students access to their schools;
* Between January and June 2002, 24 schools were heavily shelled by the Israeli military;
* Since 29 March 2002, the education process has been completely paralyzed in 850 schools;
* Since September 2000, 197 schools have been damaged, 11 schools completely destroyed and 9 vandalized;
* From 29 March to 1 May 2002: 1,289 schools were closed, 45,000 tawjihi students supposed to take the general exam in June were prevented from accessing their schools, and 54,730 teaching sessions per day were lost due to complete cessation of classes in major West Bank towns during Israeli military operations.

I have dozens of equally grim statistics about health situation, prisons etc. But I hope you get the message.
