Here are the points you made which I addressed:

First of all, I wanted to show a reliable source that states the numbers which you and Reffo titled "LIE". To make some mathematical calaulations on a spreadsheet and on that basis refute historical...
It took me about 5 minutes of googling to find out this document:

yes, I know the history of WWII, do you?
1) soldiers are not civilians. They are not "protected" under the same moral restrictions. You are not supposed to save the lives of your troops at the...
I agree with most of what you said, Reffo, and I suspect that bar-arallu will too. But that's avoidance of the issue (in my eyes)
That is because in the "middle" (as opposed to extremes) there is...
Do you mean to say that the Greek settled here in Israel? did Greek families follower the soldiers and traveled all the way from Greece to Israel and settled here?

For instance, I will never ever...

I don't know how long it will last, but I for one, hope it will be short lived.
This is the most right wing capitalist Israeli gov't in decades. Nothing good will come out of it.
I don't get it. My post was a response to stinker's one. I thought it was clear.
Why would Reffo think that I said he is evil, etc etc is beyond me.
Yes Reffo, you are right, nothing is black and white. Nationalism has, at times, proven to be an ideal that brings good and justice to the world.
