    • This old man was inside the building, but not with the gunmen. Supposedly, he has been checked and cleared, and the soldier is showing him how to leave the area. (ie. this guy was not detained.)

      • Sami Abdeh sits near the bodies of his brother Khaled Abdeh, 37, and mother Samieh Abdeh, 64, at their home in Bethlehem Wednesday, April 3, 2002. The two were killed in their home Tuesday during a heavy exchange of gunfire between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen. Sami said they died from Israeli gunfire and that Israeli troops prevented ambulances from reaching the home, and the two bled to death.


        The obvious questions here would be:

        1. If they were injured and needed medical attention, how come they were just left like this?

        2. Bleeding to death means you bleed a lot!
        So, if these two both bled to death, how come there is no blood visible on this picture??


        Civilian deaths are definitely tragic, but don't try to sell us stories any fool can see through even if he's half asleep and has a hangover!

        • A banner calling for an end to the bloodshed is seen as more than 2,000 Israeli activists, Jews and Arabs, try to pass the A-Ram chekpoint between Jerusalem and Ramallah, Wednesday, April 3, 2002. The demonstrators were trying to deliver humanitarian supplies to the besieged West Bank town of Ramallah and were also calling for an end to the bloodshed.

              • Mourners carry the body of Hamzeh Abu Ramoz to the family home in the West Bank city of Hebron on Wednesday, April 3, 2002. Ramoz was shot and killed Tuesday by Israeli soldiers who say he was carrying a weapon.

                (He probably was.)

                    • A convoy of Syrian army trucks travel along on the main Damascus road in the eastern Lebanese mountains as they are redeployed from Beirut to the Bekaa Valley on April 3, 2002. Syria began shifting the 20,000 troops it has in Lebanon on Wednesday, in an apparent bid to make them less of a target for any Israeli retaliation to attacks by Syrian-backed Hizbollah.

                      • UN Peacekeeper vehicles patrol at the southern Lebanese village of Kfar Chouba, Wednesday, April 3, 2002. Israeli soldiers and Lebanese guerrillas exchanged fire for the second day in the disputed border area, keeping tensions high on Israel's northern front as fighting raged in Palestinian West Bank territories.

                        As we all know, Israel doesn't trust the Peacekeepers because they keep failing to stop guerillas firing across the border.

                        • The army checks a Palestinian ambulance that was supposedly leading trucks carrying supplies in Ramallah on Wednesday.

                          -If they use ambulances in such a manner, it is no wonder that the army keeps wanting to check them all the time!
