there have been very few casualties in the period running up to the israeli ground action. li do not remember the numbers. since then, i have not seen that there have been any casualties from them, but i could be wrong.

[[edit---the stats that will posted are useful, but they count casualties since 2000. i was specifically talking about the casualties that accompanied the breakdown of the cease fire after 15 december. just to be clear.]]

but there is something deeply offensive about comparing the palestinian population of gaza to rabid dogs.
you might join most people in seeing hamas as a Problem in many ways, but to go from that to saying that palestianians as a whole are dogs is moving straight into kahane-type racist terrain.

translated into policy, it's a logic of extermination, not negociation. why negociate with people that you think of as rabid dogs?

geez. get a grip.
