""Jim, how about providing some evidence, like those "independent enquiries" you keep inventing, for all the "massacres" you have already accused Israel of, before dredging up yet another bit of ancient history to demonize them with.""

That piece of ""ancient history"" is newer than my car Keith, and given the sources of the comment very relevant to your demands for evidence.

You will of course dismiss it (in fact you already have) because no evidence will ever penetrate your hard wired inability to see both sides of the matter (more an inability to recognise that there are two sides in fact).

Israel's government and military want no part of any peace with Palestine. They want to provoke a situation in which they can claim justification for taking it over at whatever cost.

If you don't believe that, how about showing one shred of convincing evidence that Israel wants a peaceful settlement.

Now there's a challenge you'll never be able to meet.
