The stated policy is to avoid civilian injury. They definitely don't deliberately try and blow up people in a religious service like Hamas or PA does. I know, you will have some rationale for that as well.

"Someone who believes the Jews have a divine right to the land." Says Mr Thomas M. You got a point. Let's square our accounts : Here is : One divine right. For Thomas and friends. Another divine right, just in case you'd f..k the first one because it is hard to use, against Jews of course. + An Egyptian divine cat right, because I do not want to be accused of prejudice by you know UM against highly respectable Arab beliefs. Please use them with utmost care and only for the good cause. And never forget : Cats are also Akhbar, not only Allah.

Jordan's queen accuses Israel of 'human rights catastrophe' By Associated Press Last update - 10:46 17/04/2002 NEW YORK - Queen Rania of Jordan has accused Israel of creating a "human rights catastrophe" in the West Bank and suggested Mideast peace is impossible without a strong U.S. mediating role. Speaking on CNN's "Larry King Live" Tuesday, Rania said Israel has deprived Palestinian civilians of water, food and medicine and caused deaths by blocking access to hospitals during its nearly 3-week offensive in the West Bank. "What we are seeing actually in the West Bank is collective punishment of people," said the queen, who led a march through Jordan's capital last week to protest the Israeli incursions. "Prime Minister (Ariel) Sharon is after some suspects that he believes are terrorists, but in the process he is terrorizing the lives of many, many people," she said. Israel has repeatedly denied Palestinians charges that IDF forces committed massacres in the Jenin refugee camp. Rania said the incursions are "dismantling the infrastructure for peace" by stoking hatred. "Nobody's a winner here, except extremists," she said. The Israelis and Palestinians cannot end the violence on their own, Rania said. "There needs to be the full engagement of a third party, preferably the United States because that's viewed as the party that has leverage over Israel and can assure the fairness - can make sure that both sides are honoring any agreements that are reached between them," she said.
