Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Che, it looks to me like the bomber's left arm was placed behind his back so it would not get in the way of the robot's removal of the device.

When I posted that picture where the soldier appears to be aiming his rifle at a couple of children, I thought about making a comment on this, but I knew I could count on you guys to think for yourselves!

This picture is supposed to be showing Israeli tanks and bulldozers demolishing a Palestinian house in the Wadi al-Hareyah neighborhood of Hebron. I see some smoke rising and a tank sitting off to the left, but no bulldozers... Anyway, Palestinian sources said a firefight had erupted when an Israeli undercover unit tried to seize two wanted Palestinians. One Israeli was killed and the two Palestinians were wounded. The army said it was checking the report.

Same place, this is obviously before the previous picture was taken, as the house is less damaged on this shot. It just took a tank shell hit.

Apparently, the target building was the house of suspected Palestinian militant Hazem Kafisheh. Supposedly, the army moved into the Palestinian-controlled sector of Hebron and attempted to surround the house of Kafisheh, but then something went wrong and a gunbattle errupted before they had the place properly sealed off. One Israeli soldier was killed and Kafisheh escaped.

Smoke rises from the impact of an Israeli tank shell in the West Bank town of Nablus, Thursday April 4, 2002. Israeli tanks tightened their chokehold on Nablus, the West Bank's biggest city, and battles Thursday raged at nearby refugee camps between Israeli troops and hundreds of Palestinian gunmen.

Photographers take pictures of a green smoke bomb, supposedly tossed by Israeli soldiers to disperse members of the media. This is about 500 meters from the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Thursday, April 4, 2002. Armed Palestinians holed up inside the Church of the Nativity said Thursday that Israeli troops blew open a small back door of the shrine and fired inside, but the Israeli military denied the claim.

Sami Abdeh sits near the bodies of his brother Khaled Abdeh, 37, and mother Samieh Abdeh, 64, at their home in Bethlehem Wednesday, April 3, 2002. The two were killed in their home Tuesday during a heavy exchange of gunfire between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen. Sami said they died from Israeli gunfire and that Israeli troops prevented ambulances from reaching the home, and the two bled to death.


The obvious questions here would be:

1. If they were injured and needed medical attention, how come they were just left like this?

2. Bleeding to death means you bleed a lot!
So, if these two both bled to death, how come there is no blood visible on this picture??


Civilian deaths are definitely tragic, but don't try to sell us stories any fool can see through even if he's half asleep and has a hangover!

A banner calling for an end to the bloodshed is seen as more than 2,000 Israeli activists, Jews and Arabs, try to pass the A-Ram chekpoint between Jerusalem and Ramallah, Wednesday, April 3, 2002. The demonstrators were trying to deliver humanitarian supplies to the besieged West Bank town of Ramallah and were also calling for an end to the bloodshed.

A convoy of Syrian army trucks travel along on the main Damascus road in the eastern Lebanese mountains as they are redeployed from Beirut to the Bekaa Valley on April 3, 2002. Syria began shifting the 20,000 troops it has in Lebanon on Wednesday, in an apparent bid to make them less of a target for any Israeli retaliation to attacks by Syrian-backed Hizbollah.

UN Peacekeeper vehicles patrol at the southern Lebanese village of Kfar Chouba, Wednesday, April 3, 2002. Israeli soldiers and Lebanese guerrillas exchanged fire for the second day in the disputed border area, keeping tensions high on Israel's northern front as fighting raged in Palestinian West Bank territories.

As we all know, Israel doesn't trust the Peacekeepers because they keep failing to stop guerillas firing across the border.
