"According to B'tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, the number of Israelis killed by Palestinians between September 29, 2000, and November 30, 2002, is 640. Of those, 440 are civilians, including 82 under the age of eighteen. Some 335 were killed inside Israel proper, the rest in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians also killed 27 foreign citizens during this period. The number of Palestinians who were killed by Israelis between September 29, 2000, and November 2002 was 1,597, 300 of them minors. Since March there have been no accurate numbers for the occupied territories; B'tselem estimates that during Sharon's operation "Defensive Shield" in March and April 2002, some 130 Palestinians were killed in Jenin and Nablus alone."

"This child is standing in the rubble of his own home. I watched, with my own eyes, as he was made homeless by Israeli bulldozers as I was taunted and harassed by Israeli soldiers for my display of disapproval at this scene. He has known only this home for all 12 years of his life, and in an instant, it was taken from him. Why? In the name of Israel."
