05-24-06 - 2006 Amnesty report on Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories Some 190 Palestinians, including around 50 children, were killed by Israeli forces, and 50 Israelis, including six children, were killed by Palestinian armed groups. Israeli forces carried out unlawful attacks and routinely used excessive force against peaceful demonstrators protesting against the destruction of Palestinian agricultural land and the Israeli army?s construction of the fence/wall. Israeli settlers frequently attacked Palestinian farmers, destroying orchards and preventing cultivation of their land. Israeli soldiers and settlers responsible for unlawful killings and other abuses against Palestinians and their property generally had impunity
05-24-06 - 'How can people live, I wonder?' * the 68-year-old Bedouin farmer moved in with his son in town. Two days later a shell flattened Mousa's house.

"We couldn't rescue him because of the shelling....."They know who they kill. Before, they targeted the fighters. Now they are targeting all of us. The Bedouin have no relationship with the fighters. This is collective punishment."

05-24-06 - Fake but Accurate This reminds me of the Niger uranium hoax, in which "intelligence" from a crudely forged packet of documents alleging that the Iraqis were trying to purchase weapons-grade uranium in order to fuel their nonexistent nuclear weapons program somehow made it into the president's 2003 State of the Union speech. In short, this isn't an honest error, but evidence of outright deception.....The Israeli strategy ? which they are now making no effort to disguise ? is to use the United States military as their instrument, and it has, so far, succeeded. Agreed.
