israeli terrorists have killed at least 3 times more innocent civilians than palestinians have..

I don't say that Israel doesn't kills civilians but it never does it on purpose and where there is no other option. For example if you know the location of suicide bomber that going to blow in hour in the middle of your city want you act against him even there is a risk that civilians of the enemy might die? And because it's very hard dilemma the fence was built to prevent that.

they've done things like execute 95 year old women, demolish their homes, destroy their farmland

Israel don't demolish homes of simple civilians but of terrorist and suicide bomber anyway it didn't do so in the last year.
That would be no need to destroy farmland if the Palestinians would not use it as a base to hurt civilians. So what are you prefer the life of civilians or some farmland?

the israeli response in cases of abuse waged by individual soldiers, if any, is a pitiful slap on the wrists

Could you bring any example of that? Of course there some rogue soldiers and wrong decisions by local commanders in field but there is no Israeli policy to kill civilians contrary to Palestinians.

israelis fire friggin tank shells into civilians, and somehow to isreal's apologists, that somehow isn't terrorism..

Because it was a mistake a terrible one I must say but if you dont see difference between mistake and action that was done on purpose i am sorry for you.

I'm I'm wrong, Shrike, please post the evidence of Israel calling it's own terrorists, or doing anything really other than saying 'we have a right to defend ourselves'.

What are you talking about Sharon called that man terrorist/? I really don't understand want you want to say by this.

There's controvery about everything - were it to go to an honest court, the overwhelming evidence would show that is was done knowingly

How do you know? Did you read all the reports? Did you watch the Video? Or for you Israel is automatically the guilty part?
