    Ah, that explains blowing up buses and shopping centers, offing  the
Israeli  olympic  team  in 1972, killing 23 children in Maalot, 1981(?),
other sports.  Has your knowledge included newspapers over the  past  37
years?

    <1>  Against the British, freedom fighting.  <2> Against the Army of
the Yarmuk and other Arab armed forces, freedom fighting.   <3>  Against
the  Palestinian  population,  terrorism.   I leave it to wiser heads to
decide where the balance lies.  [Mine lies with terrorism, but  I  don't
want  to concede the point in public.  The legitimate Jewish underground
was the Haganah, which engaged in NO terrorism, and despised the IZL and
Stern gangs.]

                     ------------------------------
    Agreed.  I'll name the largest:  Deir Yassein late 1947, wherein 250
civilians  were killed.  For $15.00 cash or check, can Mr.  Aouriri name
the PROXIMATE provocation?  (Can Sinha, Raghanuthan, anybody?)

    Must I answer in caps?  eViL.

    You're  all  three.  You're not always wrong, though you work at it.
[I rarely do what I'm told.]
