from Israeli guns into Palestinian children. Israeli terrorists bomb Palestinian school: news.bbc.co.uk <<< . . . Defence for Children International, a Geneva-based human rights group, said that 463 Palestinians under the age of 18 have been killed by Israeli forces or Jewish settlers since the beginning of the Palestinian uprising almost three years ago. Speaking at a news conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Catherine Hunter, the research coordinator for DCI in the occupied territories, said, "Contrary to Israeli propaganda, DCI documentation shows that only a small percentage of children lose their lives in or around demonstrations or clashes, while most are killed in or around the home or on their way to somewhere." . . . >>> npr.org Tom

"People under an occupation fighting for their freedom ARE freedom fighters." Sure they are, but they're called terrorist when they, PA, agree to forego violence (oslo accord) but at the same time dispense suicide bombers. What in your mind will be different with a new negotiated peace, if one is ever achieved, than what was on the table in 2000. Not much, probably a lot less now. What's a freedom fighter that passes on the chance for freedom as the PA did in 2000. I think the PA has another agenda, and its not peace. I've seen pictures of Arafat with a patch on one of his sleeves that depicts a Palestine without Israel. He has a "rest in peace" for Israel in his mind, not freedom for PA people.
