A Hams Medic :
"Following the clashes, the Palestinian press reported that Naim was killed and that he was a medic with the Palestinian Red Crescent. The Gaza CLA, however, produced photographs of Naim posing holding a rocket-propelled grenade launcher and a Kalashnikov assault rifle that had been posted on a Hamas Web site."
Not surprisingly, the percentage of civilian (or, more precisely, non-combatant) casualties in Gaza is turning out to be substantially lower than official Palestinian sources have claimed. I say not surprisingly, because anyone who remembers the false propaganda emanating from Jenin in 2002 [when about fifty Palestinians, almost all armed terror/militia group members were killed, but when, for example, PA spokesman Nabil Shaath "accused Israel of carrying out summary executions and removing corpses in refrigerated trucks. He said close to 500 people had been killed." Guardian, April 17, 2002], among other occasions, knows to take "official" Palestinian casualty statistics with a grain of salt.
I find it interesting that people are solidly in favor of the release of Marwan Barghouthi. For some reason people feel he should be released because he only advocates death and destruction for Jews in one particular area, as oppose to through out the country. (For those who don't know Marwan Barghouthi was the founder of the terrorist group Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, was a member of the PLO and one of the leaders of the second intifada. He is immensely popular.) I just don't get why everyone wants him released.
