Subject: RE: BS: Israeli soldiers charged with war crime
One politico mouthing off does not make policy for the nation, it is in the nature of polititions to make remarks that are often crass and inexcusable.

I have yet to see anything in the various news reports that shows anything like genocide or ethnic cleansing. Mass graves as seen in Bosnia have yet to be shown to exist, systematic round ups and mass shootings, have they taken place? that to me is ethnic cleansing and as for genocide, the Israelis surely know enough about being on the recieving end of that, that they are not likely to go down that road themselves. If it were shown to be the case I feel that they would soon find themselves a very small friendless nation, and for all their bluster they know it.
