[IMRA: LAW has a unique definition of "protesters" - its own list below
includes "a member of Palestinian intelligence" and two identified as
members "of national security forces". No doubt others are Fatah Tanzim
(Fatah forces). They also identify as "civilian buildings" "National
Security Forces building". LAW and others have attempted to give the
impression the IDF is determined to kill Palestinians. Given that by LAW's
own count, the IDF has so far killed 41 Palestinian since Friday, it is
clear that killing Palestinians is not the goal of the IDF. The IDF may not
be as efficient as Arab armies at killing Arabs if it sets its mind to it -
but certainly the helicopter gunships mentioned by LAW could have yielded
triple digit body counts if that was the purpose of the exercise.]
