Four people dead, twenty people hurt.

Aside from the deaths and the injuries, look at the way the Israeli bulldozers clear away the cars. Those belong to innocent people who have nothing to do with any militants. And this a day before “peace talks”.

I feel a sense of creeping dread about this – I was walking in this square only 8 days ago. It was lively, peaceful, and relaxed.

“Israel described the incursion as “routine”.

    Yeah, “I am sorry if innocent people were hurt in the operation in Ramallah “.

    Well I’m sorry but that doesn’t sound like an apology to me. It gives me shivers because it reminds me of apartheid President PW Botha in the 1980’s. Facing a popular insurrection Botha declared a state of emergency. He gave the security forces almost unlimited powers to crush the revolt. The army, police and intelligence services ran the country through a State Security Council. Opponents were detained, tortured and executed through extra-judiciary means.

    In response to the murder of a group of anti-apartheid activist by security forces PW Botha said “I am sorry if innocent people had to die”.
