Solid innsats av skandinaviske mediesensorer har på få dager ført til
fremragende resultater: Israels milde og humane behandling av den
palestinske sivilbefolkningen er ved sensorernes heltemodige og humane
innsats nesten helt forsvunnet fra mediene.
Til gjengjeld blir vi grundig opplyst om hyperviktige temaer som kjøp og
salg av foppallspillere og får f.eks. i Norge å vite at de jævla svina
til lektorer har bestemt seg for å forgubbes, en plan de lenge har ruget
på. Send dem dog i grava nå, de forbanna bokormene og intellektuelle
forræderne, de har ikke fortjent bedre! Og la oss så få fritt skolevalg
så vi slipper alle de fattige midt blant pene folks barn, og få de jævla
bøndene likvidert og send harryene til Sverige og og og....
Det er godt vi lever i så siviliserte land, hvor pressa har det mot som
skal til for å skille et viktig folkemord fra et uvesentlig og virkelig
få fram det som holder kulturen oppe.

Witnesses tell how elderly were used as human shields for tank forces
By Justin Huggler and Said Ghazali
09 April 2002
The sound of four explosions came down the phone line. A woman could be
heard screaming in the background: "Come and save us." This was in the
middle of an interview with a Red Crescent ambulance official. He said
the woman's house had been hit by rockets fired from an Israeli
helicopter.
These were the voices that came out of Jenin refugee camp yesterday when
it came under the heaviest attack since the Israeli army began its
onslaught in the West Bank. The accounts are chilling: stories of
Israeli forces using the elderly as human shields in front of their
tanks, of women and children being rounded up, of homes being
demolished, of bodies littering the streets.
These allegations cannot be confirmed, because of the censorship imposed
by the Israeli authorities, who have refused journalists access to the
camp. They are the claims made by those inside the refugee camp,
speaking by mobile phone, and those who have recently fled.
Abu Hussein, a 55-year-old man inside the camp, said: "They used women
and old men as human shields. They were walking in front of the tanks
and a bulldozer was destroying the houses on both sides." Apparently the
houses were bulldozed to clear a path for tanks through the narrow
alleys – an old tactic of Ariel Sharon when he was commander of the army
in the Gaza Strip in the Seventies.
Mr Hussein said he was sheltering in two rooms with 40 others. "The
soldiers entered my neighbour's house," he said. "They killed him. His
body is there for more than five days. Six missiles hit a three-floor
building, just 200 metres away from my house. The house was full of
families. I do not know how many people were there."
A senior source in the Israeli military was quoted in the newspaper
Ha'aretz yesterday as saying Israeli troops had killed almost 100
Palestinians in Jenin in the past few days.
Helicopters flew over the camp all day yesterday, pounding it with
rockets.Abdullah Abu Atiya, who fled from Jenin, said: "They demolished
all the houses in Hawashin neighbourhood. There are many dead people in
the streets. There were many wounded crying in pain. Nobody can help
them. Nobody can get the dead bodies from destroyed houses."
The Israeli authorities have been refusing to allow ambulances access to
the wounded, which is a war crime under the Geneva conventions. The Red
Cross said yesterday it was working to get the Israelis to allow
ambulances in. Eventually, three ambulances were permitted. Each was
only allowed to bring out one person.
The Red Cross said five ambulances were fired on in the area around
Jenin and Nablus yesterday.
"The missiles were falling on the camp like rain," said Ghassan Rabayaa,
an ambulance driver. He could be overheard shouting into a
walkie-talkie: "Mariam Wishahi and her son are dead." Just before the
line went dead he said: "I can see many wounded in the square."
Dr Ahmed Rozeh, whose house overlooks the camp, claimed he saw between
40 and 50 women and children being rounded up by soldiers after their
houses were demolished. He said all the landlines to the camp had been
destroyed.
"For six days, I cannot reach my sister who lives in the camp. There is
no water, no electricity and no food in the camp." There were even
claims that some in the camp had resorted to drinking sewage.
