Subject: RE: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
CarolC keeps referring to the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians by Israel.

In places where there is ethnic cleansing, the ethnic population in question is either wiped out decreases markedly. For example, think of the Jews from Arab and Moslem countries in the Middle East. Sixty years ago, there were about 1,000,000, Now there are, at best, a few thousand.

However, at the same time, in Israel/Palestine, there were about 1,000,000 Arabs. Now there are well over 5,000,000.

If Israel was attempting "ethnic cleansing," they are surely totally inept at it.

The TRUTH, of course, is that Israel is not ethnic cleansing. All calls for ethnic cleansing by extremist Israelis have been rejected by every Israeli government, right wing and left wing alike.

The cause of peace is not advanced by the constant repetitions of such blood libels as advanced by CarolC.
