Two Fatah men killed in IAF airstrike in Gaza
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/679059.html

<snip>

"Two members of Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades were killed Tuesday in an Israel Defense Forces missile strike in Gaza City.

The latest assassination brings the number of Palestinians killed in IAF airstrikes over the past three days to nine. Israel has recently stepped up airstrikes aimed at Palestinian militants said to be connected to firing Qassam rockets at Israel from Gaza."

<snip>

"In an unrelated incident, it was revealed on Tuesday that four masked men in the Ma'on settlement near Mt. Hebron over the weekend stoned Palestinian children between six and eight years old as they made their way home from school.

Israel Radio reported that the men pelted the children from close range until an IDF jeep showed up shortly afterward and soldiers attempted to restrain the men.

The men resisted and called the soldiers "Nazis," according to the radio report."

Paragraph FOUR

"Four Qassam rockets landed Tuesday in Israeli territory north of the Gaza Strip. The rockets damaged buildings, but there were no injuries"

2. Barb, other folk actually read entire articles...
Which means they read every paragraph before they comment. Me, I'm wondering why yr appearing to believe that damaged buildings are so much more important than young kids being attacked by settlers or of people being killed. I know there's some bizarre mainstream media formula where 10,000 dead victims of any third-world disaster is equal to 1 dead Westerner as far as newsworthiness goes, but I didn't know there was one where x number of damaged Israeli buildings > infinite number of abused Palestinian children + dead Palestinians.
