NABLUS, West Bank -- Israeli forces staged the biggest demolition in the West Bank in years yesterday, destroying 62 shops in a Palestinian village.
Also yesterday, Israel's Supreme Court relaxed a ban on soldiers using Palestinians as "human shields" or ordering Palestinians to knock on doors of Islamic militants' houses. Human rights advocates denounced the decision.
In the village of Nazlat Issa, next to the West Bank border with Israel, seven bulldozers guarded by 300 soldiers destroyed shops and market stalls.
Dozens of protesters threw stones at troops, who fired tear gas and rubber-coated steel pellets. Other demonstrators chanted, "Down with the occupation."
Israel says the shops were built illegally. The mayor of the village accused Israel of waging war on the Palestinian economy.
The 170-shop market in Nazlat Issa drew many Israeli customers before the outbreak of fighting in September 2000. The market is a main source of income for the village's 2,500 residents, ..............................

Milosovich is innocent of the charges of genocide (a pure fabrication to justify war against Yugoslavia to keep Clinton in office). Milosovich was defending his country against Moslem terrorists who were trying to rip his country apart and there is no real evidence that he was practicing ethnic cleansing (on the contrary...)
Sharone is just a demon who does not want peace with the Palistinians.

It is obvious that you are not familiar with the atrocitites that Milosovich directed at the Bosnians. I could care less what the hell happend to the thieving gypsie Albanians who breed like rats and live like them as well, but the educated and cultured Bosnians had no reason to take the sh*t they did for 4 years and I hold the EU + NATO responsible.
I lived there during this peroid and saw the whole damn thing come apart and am in the process of writing about it.

Anytime the press is focused on US intentions and UN dissention, the Israelis know they can get away with murder. THe main story won't be them, bulldozing villages, it will be the " war on Iraq" .. or the " crisis " this " crisis" that " crisis "... the Mossad and the Likud govt know what the American press is concentrating on on any given day, and therefore know WHEN to be able to get away with murder, without forefront press coverage, After all, if it's not a major highlight on CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC etc etc, then when they're preoccupied let's run down some villages and markets, what the hell, we can get away with it, and will call our comerades in New York to dis down the whole affair.

Don't dismiss the Israeli PR machine. Easier to get people to sympathize with The People Of The Book than The People Of The Bulldozer, eh?

So much for the zhids' indignant accusation that the rag gunmen use rock-throwing kids as human shields whenever one of their snipers de-balls one.

Can you imagine the stink if some Arabs destroyed 62 Jewish businesses? Oy! Destroying the infrastructure of a people is all part of genocide.
