>"A modern city can be rebuilt--it's nothing special," said Hinno, a 
>native of the casbah. "But an old town, with its historic places, 
>this is the most miserable thing." Among the buildings destroyed by 
>Israeli tank fire or bulldozers was the casbah home of the Shobi 
>family. The Shobis were still inside when the Israelis attacked, 
>neighbors said. On Saturday, rescue workers who for days had been 
>digging through the rubble retrieved the bodies of three of the 
>Shobi children and their mother; the body of the father, Samir 
>Shobi, was found Friday. Three other family members also were killed.

>BETHLEHEM, West Bank, April 13 -- Israeli tanks have turned historic 
>Madbassah Square into rubble, three years after it was renovated at 
>a cost of $2 million. Fires and explosives have ruined a 
>300-year-old pilgrims' hostel with soaring arches that took two 
>years to refurbish. A once-sparkling new artists' colony, recently 
>completed for $600,000, has been ransacked and defaced.

>6) Israel's war of words gets dirty
>By Phil Reeves in Jerusalem
>14 April 2002
>
>The propaganda war between the Israelis and Palestinians has always 
>been a dirty business, but now it has sunk to new depths. Israel's 
>media centre issued a statement boasting of "countless examples" of 
>humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. This will be
>staggering news to the Red Cross and Red Crescent, who have been 
>barred from entry, shot at and repeatedly humiliated, all in 
>violation of the Geneva Convention.

>now emerging about what has happened to them, and how they say they 
>have been tortured and humiliated by Israeli forces.
