Carol and Kevin, thanks for those figures. I checked to he site for just such a breakdownand I don't know how I could have missed it. Obviously, I did. I'll check again.
Again, thanks.
As far as shooting stone throwers, Kevin, I have read -but don't recall where just now- that the Palestinians have sometimes used a three-layer formation in their demonstrations. The first layer are the stone throwers, usually the kids and teenagers. The second layer are older teenagers with grenades and/or other expolsives. The third layer are the adult fighters with automatic weapons.
I do not know that this is true, but based on the interviews conducted with the fighters in Jenin, where they had school kids with bombs in their book bags, I find it plausible. This would explain the disparity between the number of deaths in Northern Ireland and The West Bank.
The killing on both sides must stop. And it will probably take an outside party to do it by imposing borders and making them stick.
