I wonder why the press is not showing the "hundreds or thousands" of civilians killed in a week of extremely aggressive Israeli fighting in Palestinian cities. Could it really be that the IDF is really making an ultimate effort not to harm peaceful civilians? One would assume that in any house to house "search and destroy" operation mistakes will occur in at least one out of ten houses "searched and destroyed", but not only are the civilian casualties extremely small, even the Palestinians combatant casualties are extremely small. I think it is less than 20 per days, when you consider the operations are going on in seven major cities, that is less than three per city er day.

The press is also silent on the subject of the cessation of suicide bombing, in the last five days, prior to the incursion, there were some three to four attempts per day and about one in ten successes (three in a row starting with the Seder massacre, and then none). Maybe Sharon is finally discharging its responsibilities to protect the lives of Israel citizenry, maybe that is the only way that can be accomplished.
