PA: Israel’s Violations - 28/3/2006 – 3/4/2006

What I also found was Haaretz putting the number of mortar AND rocket attacks at over 1000 in the past five years. So unless that's been more rockets than mortar and all in one year, I gotta wonder about Colpy's sources.

Whatever the actual figure are, they're far enough away from "on the other hand the Palestinian factions showed commitment to the agreement" as to make the statement "on the other hand the Palestinian factions showed commitment to the agreement" an outright lie.

I stand by that crack. With a little motivation, you went from one katyusha to being well on your way to compiling a list of how many hundreds per month. You get an A for improvement, no doubt.

I CONFESS.
I was wrong.
The Palestinians did NOT fire 1000 Katyusha rockets into Israel.
The 1000 rocket deal was from a Globe and Mail article in June about a town just over the border from Gaza that was shelled daily with much LESS effective home-made rockets.
Still, 1000 rockets is 1000 rockets, and can hardly be seen as the Palestinians living up to a ceasefire.

Did you actually say Katyusha rockets? Your post clearly says 1000 rockets, and it doesn't say it's been edited.
Anyway, doesn't matter. I think the point has been made...the Palestinian factions did not observe the ceasefire in any way, shape or form.

Interesting link. I wonder what they mean by a terror act. It would be interesting to see the criteria.
The most substantial decrease in the number of terror acts was registered in the Gaza Strip, where attacks dropped by more than half from 2,637 in 2004 to 1,205 in 2005.

Yup. I'm just curious what is counted under that stat as a terrorist act...like when they catch a swishi bomber at a crossing, etc.

Don't insult members; it's unbecoming of a member (never mind a first-post member).TisGob said:
What? ARe you seriously this biased? There really is no point in debating with a nutcase sitting on a pole WAY OUT in left field.Colpy said:
The only decent peace deal the Iszraeli's have offered was Baraks' "most generous offer" called "unprecedented", the Camp David Accords.
The Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami responsible for that "most generous" deal now admits:
"... and if I were a Palestinian I would have rejected Camp David, as well."

And yet we have people here absorbed in the Israeli/US point ov view. I think the best thing is simply to place racists like Colpy on ignore, since you cannot reason with a racist.
