Elderly Palestinian crushed to death
Monday 12 July 2004

An elderly handicapped Palestinian has been crushed to death when Israeli occupation troops demolished his home in the southern occupied Gaza Strip.

Ibrahim Khalafala, 75, was killed early on Monday during an invasion in the town of Khan Yunis when occupation soldiers razed his home while he was still inside, said Palestinian medical and security sources.

An Israeli military spokesman said that the forces had destroyed some "abandoned houses" and vegetation in the area, which he claimed served as cover for Palestinian snipers.

6. We really need to cut off all aid to both sides in this mess

until they stop killing each other. There's no way to take sides-I really do understand both the israeli and the palestinean arguments, but neither side will ever get anything if they don't stop killing each other. I also think the whole idea of a separate palestinean state is unrealistic and naive. They have got to learn to live together, and if not, at least the US won't have any part of their mutual self-destruction.
