Detailed list.

"Was there a detailed list of atrocities posted somewhere, B, or is any military action a crime in your eyes?

Dan"

I haven't seen one. All I've seen is the news reports, people pointing out where the items were which had been taken from their homes by Israeli troops, blown safes, a looted passport office with a worker saying cash had been taken, and that sort of thing. Quite a bit of that sort of thing.

And it's interesting. As far as the US media are concerned, it was all in Jenin, with a bit in Ramallah. Do you think the Israelis mounted an kinder, gentler invasion of the other areas and towns, or that the media is afraid of reporting on those for fear of being taken to task for "bias"?

I doubt if there would be a comprehensive accounting of this stuff. Why?

Those people who regard an army brutalizing a civilian population as offensive are already offended, and those people who believe the Israeli Army can do no wrong are delighted with this demonstration of authority.

And if there were an accounting, I doubt if it would be in the American media for fear of the Anti-defamation League and other organizations hollering "Anti-Semitism".
