Thanks to Critical Thinker and Just a thought for gathering that information. Let me point out that if you take CT's initial number of 50,000 Israeli fighters on May 15, 1948 and add up all the BARD figures given for a total of 720,000 the 10:1 ratio sometimes given does have some credence. I'm not sure at all where Jake is getting his numbers from, unless its those fine "historians" he puts so much credence in.

Jake claims he is a peacemaker, but he has yet to condemn the warfare tactics his hosts employ. Does he support the use of suicide bombers? Does he regret that Israel's security fence has saved lives? Not a word from Jake about Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, honor killings, hate speech in Palestinian schoolbooks, hate speech from the Imam's in the mosques, or how many times the Palestinian leaders have turned down a plan to create an independent Palestinian State. No, Jake doesn't want us to concern ourselves with these issues either.

His mission is to villify Israel. And as long as he keeps doing this, his hosts will be ever so kind to him.
