| Churches targets by Israeli gunners Occupied Jerusalem: 13 November - Israeli troops on Sunday fired artillery shells at an Orthodox Church in the West Bank town of Beit Jala, injuring nine worshipers who had just finished Sunday mass. Palestinian sources said Israeli tanks stationed at the settlement of Gilo shelled the area despite the fact the streets were bustling with people. "Only a miracle prevented the occurrence of a huge massacre. I can't understand why these Zionist beasts seem so intent on slaughtering innocent civilians," said Anton Hathweh, who himself escaped death. He added rather angrily "where in the world tanks shell residential areas like this…what do they want from us, where are human rights organizations, why don't they condemn this barbarity, this murder." Earlier, Jewish settlers opened fire at school children at the village T'kou, east of Bethlehem, wounding two students, one critically. Amer al Badan, 16, reportedly received 2 gunshots in his leg. Moreover, Israeli tanks and helicopter gunships pounded Palestinian population centers in the West Bank, including Beit Sahur, Khader, Bethlehem, Ramallah and Jericho. In Gaza, sources at the Shifa hospital in Gaza announced the death of Ayman al Wadi, 17, of Khan Younis. Wadi was shot dead by Israeli snipers near the Beit Hunun crossing at the northern edge of the Gaza Strip. So far, as many as 209 Palestinians, among them 40 children, were killed by Israeli occupation troops since the outbreak of the intifada on 28 September. Around 10,000 Palestinian youths were also injured in the same period. [url]www.iap.org[/url] |

| assalaamu alaikum I'm not surprised at all. Over the last few years, the Christian clergy in that region has complained many times over the deliberate "war" that the brethren of apes and swine are waging against them. This includes not only the above account which Saleema has posted, but also occasions where Israeli radio has tried to incite violence between Muslims & Xtians by fabricating atrocities that are committed by muslims against Xtians. Thankfully, the Xtian clergy have immediately come forward and refuted these lies and further problems have been avoided. Kashif Wa Salaam |

| Assalam-u-Alaikum, I do not know much Arabic, so what does "intifada" mean? |
