If he can maintain the feelings he expresses in the last sentence ("I will continue to fight in order to protect her siblings and her classmates, her girlfriends, both Palestinians and Israelis. They are all our children."), he's a better man than me. If this vile situation is ever to be alleviated, it will need people of monstrous, Mandela-like far-sightedness, with the support of men like this. <br /><br />What happened in Anata, I do not know. The problem is that it is even more difficult than in a battle to understand what is happening, or has happened. If you've followed the al-Dura case, you'll know how a quickly a myth can be generated and how destructive it can be. And then kids like this, cut down before they have lived, are abused in life and in death.NoolaBeulahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181815160785834692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19748732.post-22535592780266093152007-01-26T14:30:00.000+00:002007-01-26T14:30:00.000+00:00Was it the stun grenade that hit her head, the sho...Was it the stun grenade that hit her head, the shock caused by its explosion or the rubber bullet fired by the Border Police? Does it make any difference? Did the Border Policeman intend to kill a child of 11 - or not? What difference does it make? The real question is why Border Policemen come almost daily to Anata, doing the devil's work, as it were, just when children are on their way home from school? What are they looking for, for heaven's sake, near a school in Anata, a West Bank town located northeast of Jerusalem? The Border Police come, the schoolchildren throw stones, the police fire and kill another innocent little girl - and nobody is called to account. The Shai (Samaria and Judea) police district is investigating, but not the Police Investigation Department. <br /><br /><a href=http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/817894.html>Ha'aretz: Twilight Zone / 'I've lost my heart'</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
