5,389 Palestinians dead in 2nd Intifada
2008-09-28
Eight years since the start of the al-Aqsa Intifada, Israel has killed 5,389 Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.

Marking the start of the second Intifada (uprising), two local Palestinian organizations, Al-Haq for Legal and Human Rights, and the Health Action Committee held a press conference in Ramallah on Saturday. During the conference the groups outlined Palestinian casualties since the second "popular uprising."

Of the 5,389 killed by Israeli forces, they said, 194 were women and 995 children. During the same time 135 Palestinian patients died at 630 Israeli military checkpoints throughout the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.

The groups said that 32,270 Palestinians were injured over the last eight years, and 3,530 of those injured have suffered permanent handicaps, and at least 220 Palestinians have died waiting for treatment abroad.

General Director of the Health Action Committee Shatha Au'da, said that Israel has also destroyed entire infrastructures in Palestinian lands, from road networks, to health, government and security installations consequent to their occupation and siege strategy. He said Palestinian lands and lives have been dissected by road-blocks, concrete walls, settlements and discriminatory policies.
And they still don't get the message.
Au'da noted that Israeli settlements have expanded 30% since the November 2007 Annapolis conference alone, and from 2000, 7,934 Palestinian homes have been demolished. 450 kilometers of the wall separating the occupied West Bank from Israel proper is in place and 45% of West Bank lands are not accessible to Palestinians.

#8  Over 200,99 Blacks have been killed in Sudan. People who unlike Palestinains didn't try to bomb maternities. People, that bunch of national-socialistras couldn't care less about.

#7  "An unnecessary, counterproductive, costly, and tragic waste."
That pretty much sums up everything from the 1973 Arab-Israeli (Yom Kippur) War through the present. Even with Arafat gone, the Palestinians are stuck on stupid.

#5  An unnecessary, counterproductive, costly, and tragic waste. My goodness, if they'd just've signed a bloody peace deal, they'd be getting freakin' voting rights in Israel proper by now, and could vote the Jews out. Maybe it's just not heroic enough.

#2  ...and 995 children.

I wonder how many of these 'children' were stone-throwing yoots.
