I wrote about houses demolished in Rafiah <<Those 21 houses *were* empty. How do I know? I spoke with one of the soldiers who was there. He was very mad that instead of doing some fighting and, just may be, as a bonus, killing some of the group that killed their friends, they got to level empty houses.

Jeffrey Miller wrote <<No, certainly not politically-correct if you praise the desire to continue a cycle of violence through revenge killings - but then, the definition of what is or is not politically correct is to all tests quite different in Israel.>> I am not praising, but I very much understand him. :-( I think it is easy to talk about "stopping cycle of violence" when it doesn't touch you personally". I don't know. Living here for more than two thirds of my life I was lucky enough not to loose any relatives, but I *did* lost some friends. And as for "politically correct" - it is the same everywhere - it's OK to say "woman was killed on gas station near Jerusalem", it may be better (but not true) "Jewish settler was killed on n gas station at occupied part of Jerusalem" it would be not politically correct to say "woman on the way to her friend's wedding was murdered by Palestinian terrorists on gas station".
