And, the Israelis are resisting the only folks most people would believe. I have to wonder why. I'd wonder why if the Palestinians were resisting that panel. And I know some people will only believe Sharon, and then might not believe him, would say he was under political pressure.

I don't understand how people cannot think that it is more likely than not that atrocities were committed. Not certainly, not for sure, yet, but more likely than not. It certainly is my prejudice. I suspect. I don't know.

I suspect attacks by troops with armor, air support including rocket attacks at night, turned loose in a civilian area for two weeks weren't all against military targets. Two weeks! What were they doing?

One, there were no "military" targets. Two, there were limited para-military targets, such as policemen. Three, the para-military targets were very lightly armed.

Unless the Israelis were on vacation, they were doing something. With limited "legitimate" targets, they might have been occupied messing with "illegitimate" targets.

Another factor is the Israeli commander-in-chief is a war criminal, for whom massacres are old hat. The mistake he made in the past was to leave bodies behind. Suspect he won't do that again.

The Israelis claim to have found 10 suicide bomb set-ups which hadn't been used. Wonder how much damage can be done by those, and how much by ONE tank.

It just smells bad. It smells very bad. I think it's a much safer assumption there was a massacre than not. And, I don't know. Would love to hear the UN report, would love to have a trustworthy account of missing Palestinians.
