Another week in the cradle of civilisation....Nov 22 to Nov 28....?

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF):

-- killed 11 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank; one victim was extra-judicially assassinated; two others were killed by banned flechette shells that propel metal fragments on detonation for maximum destructive effect against human targets; an Israeli Air Force raid killed another five Palestinians in Gaza early Saturday and wounded eight others as part of its regular terror-inflicting operations the IDF complements with savagery on the ground;

-- wounded 28 Palestinians, including four children and an Israeli human rights defender; prevented ambulances from reaching victims to provide medical aid and transport to hospitals; one or more victims bled to death as a result;

-- conducted 12 incursions into the West Bank and two into Gaza; targeted in the West Bank were al-Bireh and the neighboring al-Am'ari refugee camp; Ramallah; Jenin town and refugee camp; Azzoun village, east of Qalqilya; and Nablus and neighboring Balata and Ein Beit al-Maa refugee camps; Gaza targets included al-Shouka village, east of Rafah; in all cases, civilians were victimized;

-- conducted air strikes at locations in Gaza including against the Palestinian naval police in Khan Yunis and Hamas' Izziddin al-Qassam Brigades military wing;

-- arrested 30 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank plus 12 in Gaza making the total number of arrests this year 2476 in the West Bank; year to date Gaza arrests weren't reported but may be comparable in number to the West Bank; as many as 12,000 Palestinians are in Israeli prisons under deplorable conditions, most are uncharged under administrative detention, and Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem estimates 85% of them are subjected to torture or abuse; Israel continues making more unreported illegal arrests than the number of prisoners theatrically released; most are near the end of their unjustified sentences;

-- destroyed one house and razed 7 donums (about 2 acres) of agricultural land in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza;

-- destroyed buildings and factories in the Gaza Erez industrial zone that remained after others there were destroyed earlier;

-- allowed one patient to die because she was denied access to treatment outside Gaza;

-- continued construction of the illegal annexation wall in the West Bank on seized Palestinian land;

-- used force to disperse peaceful demonstrations protesting the wall's construction in Bal'eom village, west of Ramallah, and al-Ma'sara, south of Bethlehem;

-- continued illegal West Bank settlement activities;

-- allowed Israeli settlers to continue attacking Palestinian civilians and their property; attacks also injured 13 Palestinian civilians traveling in a minibus;

-- continued to violently beat Palestinians attempting to bypass checkpoints to enter Jerusalem; this happens mostly on Fridays when they wish to pray at the al-Aqsa Mosque;

-- seized the homes of three Palestinian families for use as military sites; and

-- Israeli settlers attacked a Hebron school causing damage; they broke windows, uprooted trees, demolished walls and tried to burn down the building; Settlers also attacked a private home; they set fires, broke windows and damaged a car and barnyard; in both instances, IDF forces were nearby but didn't intervene as they almost never do in situations like this so settlers can freely terrorize Palestinian civilians.

Isnt it time the world stopped talking about future talks and do something about this problem ?

Charon:Missiles being fired into Israel by a terrorist does not entitle Israel to collectively punish innocent people, which incidentally is against international law nor is there any justification for the appalling treatment meted out to ordinary Palestinians.Israel should be ashamed.

Perhaps Yahoo fears the Zionist Lobby. Report It

you would think Jews would learn from history,seems they don't.

Think I read somewhere that missiles are randomly fired into Israel.

[Edit] Don't know about dates, I just thought it was random . I will stand corrected if I am wrong, after all I am not there. Just newspaper reports and TV. So, tell me, is it not true?
