The evidence you present is simply not from sources that are either as credible (due
to objectivity vs. advocacy issues) or as complete as that which rhinocerous
presented for an earlier period; quite simply, his evidence is more believeable than
yours. And it is to be suspected that the more-out-of-control circumstances of the
present intifadeh regarding terror organizations, vs. the more in-hand situation in
existence during the first, augurs for more deaths, not less, as terror organizations
are unquestionably responsible for the elephants' share of Palestinians murdered as
Israeli collaborators in all periods.

I attempt, in my analyses, interpretations, acknowledgements and judgments, to both
give profferred information all the credit, influence and weight it duly deserves, and to
deny it more. That has always been the way I have endeavored to operate. Unlike
you, apparently.
