The West Bank belonges to Jordan, the Gaza Strip belongs to Egypt. So, what you are saying is that Jordan and Egypt *and* a part of Jordan *and* a part of Egypt attacked Israel. This makes no sense. You also do not say "the US *and* the State of Wisconsin bombed Afghanistan", do you? Or "both Europe *and* The Netherlands were occupied by the Nazis"? >So, now that that question is settled, Jeroen, why do you consistently side >with an agressor nation that viciously attacked its neighbour four times >(and there is no other word for attacking Israel on Yom Kippur than >*vicious*), You mean, attacking a country on a religious holiday is vicious? I would call it brilliant. You see, John, if you want to attack your enemy, you do not do that when he is wide awake and on full alert. Rather, you wait till he lets his guard down and *then* you attack. That way you can do substantial damage to your enemy before he gets a chance to do serious damage to your own side. >deliberately targets children and civilians, With a Palestinian to Israeli death ratio of 3.5 to 1, and a child-killing ratio of 3.75 to 1, I think you should be complaining even more loudly about Israel targeting children. Yet I do not hear you do that. Are the lives of Palestinian children of less value than the lives of Israeli children? >And finally, just because I am silly enough to believe that someday I will >get an answer: > > Jeroen, do you believe that the entity of "Palestine" is exhibiting >goodwill towards Israel? The answer can be found in previous posts.
