"Is it conceivable that somebody on our side has decided that all of Palestinian society is the target?" - He also asked if the military method used Monday "actually intensifies and broadens the circles of hatred for generations."

Silenced witnesses - In a seven-week period this spring, two overseas observers were killed by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, and a third left brain dead. But has the truth yet been told? - Since the start of the second intifada, 2,200 Palestinians have been killed. Nine Israeli soldiers have been indicted for various offences, but none has been convicted of unlawful killing. But this, from the killing fields of the Occupied Territories, is something new: the killing and maiming of Western journalists and peace activists. And, unlike the Palestinians, the families of the international victims have been able to bring pressure to bear. They have, however, had precious few satisfactory answers. - We showed the APTN film of James's shooting to a serving Israeli soldier.
