Jeroen <<BTW, something else that specific reader mentioned was the death of a Palestinian doctor who was killed when an Israeli Apache gunship fired on his ambulance. Ambulances tend to be quite distinguishable from other vehicles; when did it become OK to fire on an ambulance? That not only smells of murder, that also smells of a war crime.>> Ilana <<Apropos ambulances. Did you hear about the one where explosives were hidden under three years old child's cot?>>
Jeroen <<No. But I did hear a few days ago that according to the Palestinian branch of the International Red Cross, Israeli troops were deliberately blocking roads to prevent ambulances from reaching people who were wounded in the attack on Arafat's offices in Ramallah.>> Ilana Ambulances were checked before they entered Ramallah. Weapons and explosives were found, armed man were not found. Jeroen <<And while we are on the topic of blocking roads: a few months ago, footage was shown of a funeral procession of Palestinians, on their way to bury some of their relatives who had been killed by Israeli fire. The walk to the cemetery would have taken only 15 minutes, but Israeli troops quickly blocked the road, forcing the funeral procession to take a detour. They ended up having to walk for two hours. Ever walked around for two hours, carrying a coffin on your shoulder?>> Ilana Either we are not talking about the same footage or, most probably, we look at it differently. Funeral procession progressed into riot and there was attempt to attack Israeli settlement. Soldiers intervened. And about "carrying coffins" - last count is 416 Israel dead. Most of them buried in coffins - meaning there was not much left to bury. Ilana from Israel
