A group of children playing nearby scattered, but three froze in fear. Mr Hurndall rescued a five-year-old boy before running back for two little girls. As he bent down to pick one up, he was hit in the head.

04-10-06 - Calls for UK to act over Britons shot dead in Gaza The attorney general was last night called on to seek war crimes charges against five Israeli officers after an inquest jury found that a soldier under their command intentionally killed a British peace activist in Gaza....Tom Hurndall, 22, died after being shot in broad daylight by an Israeli soldier who later said his commanders had issued orders allowing him to shoot even unarmed civilians. Our citizens (and/or their survivors) who have been killed or maimed by the IDF can only dream of getting such justice.

Likewise, the IDF fired a missile into Abbas' compound days ago to 'send a message'. Then they killed a policeman yesterday and a child today, injuring many other children, also to 'send a message'. The message is: 'we are terrorists too', evidently.

04-10-06 - Israeli Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy President George W. Bush said a few days ago that, in connection with the supposed threat of Iran, his concern is to protect Israel.

This is why denials, secrecy and efforts at intimidation are dangerous. David Levy is right when he says that Israel itself would be served "if the open and critical debate that takes place over here (in Israel) were exported over there," meaning the United States
