OK...let's go with that (even though Michael brings up some very salient points). So you just read about one Jewish man who committed murder. Now let's flip Sam's question around and ask about how many Palestinian suicide bombers you've heard of? You really seem to be looking at this not necessarily through rose-colored glasses...but with blinders on. Just because one Jewish man committed a crime, does not mean the Israeli goverment encourages or condones the behavior. Just because you have Palestinian friends who don't engage in Jihads during lunch at the corner deli does not mean the Palestinian governement does NOT encourage or condone the behavior. You're looking at 2 very very very small samples of each group. Neither are representative of the groups as a whole. If you step back a few feet and look at the bigger picture you'll see that the control groups on which you're basing these opinions is too small of a sampling to get accurate results. -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
