I am both impressed by your arguments and convinced that the Jews are innocent. You can really be proud of the IDF.web.amnesty.org Noha Maqadmeh, a mother of 10 and nine months pregnant, was killed in her bed by the collapsing walls of her home in central Gaza Strip when the Israeli army blew up an adjacent house. Her husband and most of her children were injured and six other nearby houses were destroyed by the blast, leaving some 90 people homeless. Her husband told Amnesty International: "We were in bed, the children were asleep; the bedroom was the most sheltered room, at the back of the house... There was an explosion and walls collapsed on top of us. I pulled myself from under the rubble... I started to dig in the rubble with my hands; first I found my two little boys and my three-year-old girl. ... one by one we found the other children but my wife remained trapped under the rubble with our youngest daughter, who is two; she was holding her when the wall fell on her..." The largest single wave of destruction carried out by the Israeli army was in Jenin refugee camp in April 2002. The army completely destroyed the al-Hawashin quarter and partially destroyed two additional quarters of the refugee camp, leaving more than 800 families, totaling some 4000 people, homeless.(4) Aerial photographs and other evidence show that much of the house destruction was carried out after clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian gunmen had ended and Palestinian gunmen had been arrested or had surrendered.(5) Since then Israeli army raids and destruction of homes and properties throughout the West Bank have continued.
