Subject: The truth is a painful one


The sad truth is that over 4,000 Palestinians and Israelis have been killed since the beginning of the second Intifad. According to B'tselem*, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Terrotories, as of Nov 15, 2005, 3,307 Palestinians have been killed by Israelis, including 670 minors, while 713 Israelis have been killed by Palestinians, including 307 soldiers and 118 minors. That's over 4,000 families that have been lost loved ones, and your attempt to paint the reality and pain of these losses as propoganda does a disservice to us all.

* B'TSELEM - The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories was established in 1989 by a group of prominent academics, attorneys, journalists, and Knesset members. B'Tselem has attained a prominent place among human rights organizations. In December, 1989 it received the Carter-Menil Award for Human Rights. Its reports have gained B'Tselem a reputation for accuracy, and the Israeli authorities relate to them seriously. B'Tselem ensures the reliability of information it publishes by conducting its own fieldwork and research, whose results are thoroughly cross-checked with relevant documents, official government sources, and information from other sources, among them Israeli, Palestinian, and other human rights organizations
