Aided and abetted by the US. Undoubtedly paid for by the US. And the US wonders why it's not loved in Muslim nations, after all the ethnic cleansing.

"Local residents said that Israeli tanks entered a refugee camp near Khan Younis early on Wednesday. Bulldozers destroyed several houses opposite a Jewish settlement, forcing about 60 families to flee." (Jewish settlement on Palestinian territory, by the way.)

A war crime.

"Earlier, Israeli naval gunships were reported to have fired at targets in the Gaza Strip. "

Another war crime, or terrorism. You can't tell me there are any valid "military" targets in Gaza after all the rampaging they've done.

"Questioned over the killing of Sheikh Yassin, US President George Bush said on Tuesday that Israel had a "right to defend itself from terror" - but should also bear in mind the consequences. "

By this reasoning the Palestinians have a right to kill Sharon, to defend themselves against terror. After all, a war waged against a civilian population, even if done by an army, is terror. GWB can't really complain against aggression against a harmless ethnic group, now can he.

And the outrage expressed by Israel and America is the same as felt by Americans when the Native Americans fought back. Absolutely criminal to defend one's homeland, according to Israelis and the Americans who back the process of eliminating the Palestinians.
