there was evidence Israeli soldiers were aiming for the Palestinian youth's eyes by the amount of head wounds during the rock throwing incidents through the years I don't think they where aiming for the eyes. Maybe for the heads but the eyes are too small of target. In any case if someone is hurling stones at you, it isn't exactly terrorism if you shoot them. If you have a good means to defend youself without shooting them then it could be argued that shooting them is unecessary brutality but it still isn't terrorism. Its not the same as walking in to a pizza place with a bomb strapped to your chest so that you can kill innocent civilains. I believe I have said that the Israelis have hardly been saints, and of course even if what they do is not terrorism, that doesn't mean when they actually are brutal or opressive against innocent people that they should not be condemned for it. I just look at the terrorist attacks as being worse. Tim
