ZionBlog notes mislabelling in the B'Tselem reports on deaths in the fighting between Israel and the Palestinians. Some further examples by myself are below. The B’Tselem title of the report Palestinian civilians killed by Israeli security forces in Israel ignores one important fact, most of those killed were not civilians, they were terrorists, killed after or while conducting attacks. Looking at the report we see: 2 October 2000
11 July 2001 5 August 2001 4 October 2001 22 October 2001 17 November 2001 9 Janaury 2002 17 Janaury 2002 28 Janaury 2002 8 February 2002 10 February 2002 17 February 2002 9 March 2002 17 March 2002 27 March 2002 30 March 2002 3 April 2002 Of the 22 people listed 14 are terrorists killed after attacking Israelis or on their way to attacks, and one person was in the same vehicle as a terrorist. Similarly the report, Palestinian security forces personnel killed by Israeli security forces in Israel ignores what these people were doing when they were killed: 28 October 2001 Yusuf Sultat,age 22, from Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, killed by Israeli police gunfire after having fired at Israeli civilians in Hadera (TERRORIST) All six of the Palestinian security forces personnel killed by Israeli security forces in Israel were terrorists killed after attacking Israelis. 11:04:53 PM

Charles A. Radin of the Boston Globe has been written a multiple part series on "obstacles to peace in the Middle East". In the third article he covers what is titled "Sacred sites", but the article shows that the real obstacle a total unwillingness by Arabs to accept any non-Islamic claim to any land in the Middle East. The most important point is the Temple Mount. The author shows that despite the overwhelming evidence of the existence of Jewish Temples in Jerusalem, Arabs deny that they existed, or were built by man. He notes: For Israelis, attempts by Palestinian leaders to deny the Judeo-Christian history of the Temple Mount and to bar non-Muslims from the area is far and away the most alarming of the disputes over holy sites. For some, it is also the most perplexing, for there is literally a mountain of evidence that before mosques stood on the Haram al-Sharif, the temples of King Solomon and, later, King Herod, stood on the Temple Mount. The Second Temple, from which Jesus chased the money-changers, is documented in the writings of Joseph Flavius and in the Talmud. The stone that marked the place from where the shofar was blown to call Jews to prayer has been located. Coins found under fallen arches date to Herod's grandson. As recently as 1935, a guide to the Haram al-Sharif, published by the Supreme Muslim Council in Jerusalem, stated that the site's ''identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute.'' It also noted that the site is mentioned in the Book of Samuel, in which Solomon's father ''David built an altar unto the L-rd,'' according to the guide. But none of this matters to people who deny the Jewish history of Jersulam and the Temple Mount, as recently as Arafat in the Camp David talks in 2000. The article also shows how some are attempting a denial of the history of the Jewish people. There is a quote of the bizarre statement: ' 'There is nothing Jewish'' about the site, said Hajazi Abu Sneineh, director of the mosque. ''The sons of Israel are Muslims. Moses was a Muslim. David was a Muslim.'' This is a nifty trick, denying another people’s history by saying that their forefathers were yours and so they belong to you. 10:51:29 PM
