I believe that I missed most of this discussion.  However, from rao's
comments, I have deduced that there was a complaint that Israelis bombed
a hospital.

It is known that the PLO attacks the Israeli civilian population whenever
it can.  Do you sit back while they try to kill you?  If you were in the
same situation, you probably wouldn't!

What really irks me is that the PLO *deliberately* places their military
in the middle of the civilian population.  The most recent case is Tripoli.
Arafat placed is men and guns in the middle of the refugee camps, and the
in the city itself.  They do not care about the people.  They are just trying
to protect themselves regardless of the cost of human lives.  They then
accuse the people who fight back as barbarians because they kill civilians
while attacking military targets.  This is a standard method used by the PLO
in trying to protect itself (use humans as protective shields).  Even the
people (such as the mayor of Tripoli) had asked the PLO to leave, but
Arafat refused despite the retoric.  How can you trust such people?
