07-07-06 - Israel kills 7 in Gaza Among Friday's violence in which medics said militants and civilians were killed, an air strike in northern Gaza killed two gunmen.

The US is being used as dupe and fall guy for the war crimes committed by Israel, as usual.

07-07-06 - Israel has edge over U.S. in urban combat "They know they have to be prepared for the worse," he said in an interview. "They rely on heavily on armor and don't dismount anyone until they know the area is secure with tanks, large infantry carriers with tracks." Israel avoids casualties by staying in armored vehicles and by firing on EVERYONE. They don't care if they kill civilians - therein lies the difference between the US Army and that of Israel. And this despite the fact that Israelis trained our guys at Fort Bragg. US troops are sitting ducks in Iraq for every two-bit terrorist on the planet - and why? Whose war is this?

07-07-06 - Profiting from the Occupation - The Corporate Interests Fueling Conflict in Palestine Despite the centrality of the settlements as an obstacle to peace, supermarkets like Tesco and Waitrose still stock products grown or manufactured in West Bank settlements, labelling them as 'Made in Israel'. Although EU law requires settlement produce to be labelled for customs purposes, so as not to apply preferential tariffs to them, this information is not passed onto the customer, so settlement produce ends up mixed in with other Israeli fruit, vegetables and herbs. IN America, the only nation that Americans are legally prohibited from boycotting is? Israel. We would never have labels on food specifying whether it came from the Israeli-occupied territories or not.

Somehow, it has become OUR job to secure the release of the soldier.
