There's no cause and effect there whatsoever. Israel continues to kill Palestinians even when the Palestinians are conducting unilateral cease-fires. Palestinians know that they will be killed and their houses demolished no matter what they do.

CarolC,

That is false propagandizing. There have been no "unilateral cease-fires" by the Palestinians. On the rare occasions that the Palestinian Authority has agreed to, or called for, a cease-fire, they've been shattered by either Yassin's Hamas or Arafat's own Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade.

It takes at least two sides to have a conflict. When I look back at what you've written about this conflict on this forum, it is painfully obvious that you place 100% of the responsibility on one side and one side only. Although I'm pro-Israeli, I know it's not that simple and that the Palestinians do have legitimate demands and that a negotiated settlement is ultimately inevitable.
