No Colin, some of them are simply innocent victims. You made your point 6 months ago by saying that 1 is too many. All I can say is: 1) If terrorists hide themselves behind human shields, who's responsible if they're killed? 2) Should the killing of innocent victims prevent Israel from defending itself? 3) Who's ultimately responsible for this mess? See the next post for a comprehensive view of it. Unfortunately, I'll be away for the next 2 weeks without email so I will not continue this interesting exchange until then.

Sorry Debra I disagree completely. First things were never peaceful. Second, Sharon visited the Temple Mount where the holiest Jewish site is located, the western wall, for the purpose of praying as any Jew is entitled to do in his holiest site. Incidentally, Jews were forbidden to even go there until 1967 as long as it was under Jordanian rule. Anyway, it just so happens that the Muslims have built 2 mosques overlooking the western wall. Knowing that his visit to a Jewish site near some mosques might be a problem, he warned the Palestinian Authority beforehand and received a green light to go there. While he was there nothing happened, it was a peaceful visit. It was only afterwards that the propaganda you're hereby relaying was made up by Arabs in order to stir up trouble. Sharon never went to a mosque. He went to the Wailing Wall. This web site you're referring to is pure propaganda, at which the Arabs are clearly the masters of. I believe the worst part of all is ignorance, so I refer you to the next post for a very informative summary. Laurent
