Rabin was murdered by a right-wing extermist as was Anwar Sadat. In neither case were the bodies beaten and put on public display and THAT'S what I was talking about.
The killing is understandable, the barbaric actions of the crowd is not. Again I say, the Koran speaks against the desicration of bodies -even those of an enemy.
DougR answered my repeat of Golda Meiers statement very well. I never said that it was an established fact. Perhaps I should preface each sentence with an "F" or an "O" for "fact" or "opinion" to prevent confusion.
I have never cliamed to hate the Palestinians or, for that matter, to love Israel. As I have said before, I think that Israel has the right to exist and to have secure, defensible borders and I think the Palestinian Arabs deserve the same.
To close, I try not to post opinions as facts."...if someone posts anything incriminating about Israel, it is seen as gratuitous. But posting the same sort of thing about Palestinians is ok." The stories about Israeli torture remain, as yet, unproven. I say unproven because they are based on hearsay evidence. The story about the murder and desecration of the three suspected collaborators is cold hard fact and was reported as such in Arab media with, although I have not seem them, pictures of the event.
