Dear Sir:

Re: Carolynne Wheeler’s “Man rams front-end loader into traffic, killing three” July 3, 2008

I’m curious about why it’s reported that one berzerk Palestinian, believed by Israel to be acting alone, is said to “threaten both renewed peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and fragile attempts at a Gaza ceasefire with Hamas” while official Israel forces, in the past week alone:

KILLED 2 Palestinian children in the West Bank.

SHOT 8 Palestinian civilians, including 2 children and a woman; 5 of them were wounded in Ne’lin village near Ramallah.

conducted 44 incursions into Palestinian communities in the West Bank.

arrested 42 Palestinian civilians, including 2 children, in the West Bank.

continued to impose a total siege on the OPT and have isolated the Gaza Strip from the outside world.

harassed a journalist from Gaza at al-Karama International Crossing Point on the Jordanian Border.

positioned troops at checkpoints in the West Bank and arrested 5 Palestinian civilians.

There was also documentation this week, of the torture of a 10 year old Palestinian boy, who lost molars through the abuse he suffered at the hands of Israeli soldiers.

Even more stunning is the current, genocidal siege of Gaza that Israel continues to maintain in violation of all legal standards of treatment of civilians under its occupation.

Is there some reason that Israeli actions do not “threaten peace talks”?

Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, has said that he wants to destroy the home of the driver who killed three Israelis after he rammed a bulldozer into their vehicles.

“We must use a punishment that would deter. We have to act with a tough hand, to negate social rights, to immediately destroy the homes of every terrorist from Jerusalem,” a government official quoted Olmert as saying.”

Tove Johansson from Stockholm walked through the Tel Rumeida checkpoint with a small group of human rights workers to accompany Palestinian schoolchildren to their homes. They were confronted by about 100 settlers in small groups, who started chanting in Hebrew “We killed Jesus, we’ll kill you too!”, a refrain the settlers had been repeating to internationals in Tel Rumeida all day. http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6052/1754/1600/swede%201.jpg If this were to be reported by the Zionist media, it would no doubt be reported as... horrible anti-semite ignores pleas for peace and damages Israeli property.
