Independent Media Center, Israel http://indymedia.org.il No surprise to hear about Israeli atrocitiesTuesday 22 Jan 2002 author: Andi Ali (AAli3uclan.ac.uk)

Unfortunately, it came as no surprise to read of Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian population. Any country that allows its armed forces to randomly torture and shoot children is obviously one which regards the sanctuary of human life with little value. Until we in the west wake up and accept that Israel far from fighting terrorism is actually engaging in it then I fear the War on Terrorism will never be won.
