Possible other explanation: he was arrested based on the statement by the abovementioned "somebody", but as there was no (or insufficient) evidence against him, he had to be released. I assume that is the same way Israel treats its own citizens: if they are arrested but there is no proof of a crime, they are released. > <<That does not answer the question why the rabidly pro-Israel crowd > conveniently never mentions killed Palestinian children.

As far as I know out TV and our papers both > left and right *do* mention killed or wounded Palestinian children. I am not talking about Israeli newspapers, I am talking about people who, in discussions, make those statements. > When you last saw PA TV? *They* add English translations. I do not live in Israel or the Occupied Terrorities, I live in The Netherlands. We do not receive Palestinian television here. Maybe people who get satellite TV can receive it, but I do not have a satellite dish (and I am not planning on getting one). > <<It is war.
