Mass lsaughter is not the only form of genocide -- according to
_official_ definitions of it developed after WW2. Destroy a culture,
destroy a people's national unity; drive them from their land (with more
or less actual slaughter) and that is genocide. That kind of goal makes
sense of the israeli policy over a 60 year period, and like some other
poster, I reject categorically the suggestion that the Israeli policy is
_irratonal_. It is rational in terms of a rational goal. The goal is
simply not an acceptable one.
