Subject: RE: BS: Israeli soldiers charged with war crime
I would say that award should go to yourself, mr. sledge, for using them in the same sentence. I did not use them gratuitously and stand by my use of them.

If the new minister in Sharon's government states, as he has, publically, that his goal is to drive all of the Palestinians out of the west bank and gaza, and into Jordan or wherever else will have them, and if Sharon and the Israeli army actually destroy enough homes and infrastructure and kill enough residents, identifying them as Palestinian or just arab, that is both ethnic cleansing and attempted genocide. By making these statements I have not apologized for or condoned in any way the actions of Palestinian suicide bombers or Arafat. I question Sharon's policies and describe them as I see them as above.
