>From today's Washington Post: "Since a Palestinian uprising began 13 days
ago in Gaza and the West Bank, Palestinian youths have consistently been on the front lines and have suffered accordingly. The U.N. Children's Fund says that, as of this morning, 22 children under 18 had been killed and at least 1,000 wounded by Israeli soldiers firing tear gas, rubber-coated bullets and standard ammunition at Arab protesters and the gunmen who are sometimes in their midst. Many have been maimed; some have lost eyes. In all, nearly 100 people have been killed since violence erupted Sept. 29, all but five of them Palestinians."

Some siege force.
