Um, I already know all this shit? None of that warrants taking the Palestinian side over the Isreali side though.

taking sides isn't the point of the website.

Then what was? The only thing that website does is reiterate anything anyone already knew.

I know someone who works for the United Nations - at the moment he's working to help the Palestinians.

And I know for a fact he doesn't take 'sides' (he's worked in Afganistan/Rwanda/etc), but he made it abundantly clear who the argessor is.

But hey.

Once they start putting stats up like this, then any notion of "unbias" has gone out the window.

Because those are statistics that are deliberately trying to cause an emotional swing into a realm where only logic should exist.

From their "About us" page:

"Empowered by American money, Israel is occupying land that does not belong to it, is breaking numerous international laws and conventions of which it is a signatory, and is promulgating policies of brutality that have been condemned by the United Nations, the European Union, the National Council of Churches, Amnesty International, the International Red Cross, and numerous other international bodies. This truth is also rarely reported.

Through the money and weaponry provided by the United States, Israel is imposing an ethnically discriminatory nation on land that was previously multicultural. There is ethnic and religious discrimination inherent in its national identity, and a doctrine of the supremacy of one group over all others permeates its political, financial, and military policies."

And so on. No bias there at all. :rolleyes:

No.

That would be "Israeli and Palestinian Children Killed By Suicide Bombers since 09/29/2000" or "Israeli and Palestinian Children Killed By Apache Helicoptors since 09/29/2000"
