- Israeli officer: I was right
to shoot 13-year-old child
Radio exchange contradicts army version of Gaza killing
Thirteen-year-old Iman Al-Hams was killed when an Israeli officer emptied his weapon into her. Israelis have been responsible for killing over 600 other Palestinian children since September 2000.

An Israeli army officer who repeatedly shot a 13-year-old Palestinian girl in Gaza dismissed a warning from another soldier that she was a child by saying he would have killed her even if she was three years old.
The officer, identified by the army only as Captain R, was charged this week with illegal use of his weapon, conduct unbecoming an officer and other relatively minor infractions after emptying all 10 bullets from his gun%u2019s magazine into Iman al-Hams when she walked into a %u201Csecurity area%u201D on the edge of Rafah refugee camp last month.
A tape recording of radio exchanges between soldiers involved in the incident, played on Israeli television, contradicts the army%u2019s account of the events and appears to show that the captain shot the girl in cold blood.

- Even the Iraqis don't believe in GW's Democratic Iraq anymore!!! I do hope someday, somewhere in the White House, an intelligent thought will shine in the darkness, and GW will truly show some courage and realize the mistakes he has made by being driven along this dark path that the hawkish Neocons have asked him to follow.

Nice going. 27 more dead Iraqi civilians, from another cowardly U.S. aerial bombing attack.
What a horrific joke. - Reply to this comment
- Ethnic cleansing returns to Israel's agenda
By Johann Hari
The Independent of London
The silence over Lieberman's appointment is a bleak sign of how far Israel has drifted to the right
Johann Hari is a columnist for the major British daily newspaper, The Independent.
In the past fortnight, a startlingly far-right politician named Avigdor Lieberman has joined the governing coalition in Israel %u2013 in the lofty position of Deputy Prime Minister.
His party, Yisrael Beytenu (Israel, Our Home), has campaigned on two ugly issues. The first is the claim that Israel's two million Arab citizens are "a danger to the country", to be dispensed with, in part, by ethnic cleansing. Lieberman wanted to bus thousands of released Palestinian prisoners to the Dead Sea and drown them.
Today, he has moderated his stance and merely wants to "transfer" many hundreds of thousands of Israeli Arabs %u2013 inevitably by force %u2013 to the scraps of remaining land that will be labelled Palestine after Israel has annexed the major illegal settlement blocks. If your name's not on the list, you're not staying in.
"Minorities are the biggest problem in the world." He would like to begin these racist expulsions with a simple, swift move: executing Israeli Arab members of the Knesset. Since they have spoken to the democratically elected Palestinian leadership, they are "traitors", Lieberman argues.

- This is a grrreat security. Only a Wlaking-Liar state-run dictatorship may yield such a successful security. Bravo Georgie, Bravo! After all it could have been more. Could've been 5000, 50,000 or 500,000 dead in 7 seven days. Right Georgie?
