	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Israel shocked by image of soldiers forcing violinist to play at roadblock
		The incident was not as shocking as the recording of an Israeli officer pumping the body of a 13-year-old girl full of bullets and then saying he would have shot her even if she had been three years old.
		Nor was it as nauseating as the pictures in an Israeli newspaper of ultra-orthodox soldiers mocking Palestinian corpses by impaling a man's head on a pole and sticking a cigarette in his mouth.
		Israelis put great store in a belief that their army is "the most moral in the world" because it says it adheres to a code of "the purity of arms".

	CNN.com - Demonstrators call for Israeli pullout - May 11, 2002
		As the activists gathered on the spot where Israeli Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin was assassinated in 1995, Israeli tanks and troops were poised at the Gaza border, waiting for an order to begin a retaliatory strike for Tuesday's Palestinian terror attack in the coastal city of Rishon Letzion that killed 15 Israelis.
		Israeli Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer raised the level of uncertainty of retaliation Friday night, telling Israeli Channel 2 he had delayed the military operation in Gaza because government ministers had leaked details of the plan to the media.
		Israeli military sources said the campaign would include air attacks in conjunction with ground operations but would not be on the scale of "Operation Defensive Shield," the Israeli military operation in the West Bank.

		Moreover, the Egyptian blockade prior to the 1956 Suez War violated the Convention on the Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone, which was adopted by the UN Conference on the Law of the Sea on April 27, 1958.
		UN Security Council Resolution 242 (November 1967), calls for "withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict" (Six-Day war); and UN Security Council Resolution 446 (March 1979), declared settlements on the West Bank, Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights to be illegal.
		This number does not include Israelis in "East Jerusalem", which was captured by Jordan in 1948, and annexed by it from 1950 to 1967.

	Alternatives : Israeli Democracy
		Baran is what Israelis call a “prince” : a son of the country’s first pioneers and leaders ; Avnery is a hero of the 1948 war, a former MK and celebrated journalist.
		Israelis seem to accept the deployment of the army and police on a vast scale and the thousands of security guards at the entrances to all public facilities-restaurants and supermarkets, schools and department stores-without a shadow of a reservation, as if this were a completely normal way of life for individuals and the nation.
		While Israelis were noted in the past for their inability to say “please,” “excuse me,” or “thank you,” today they are ready to physically attack someone who cuts ahead of them in traffic ; and since they often have guns on them, such incidents sometimes end in tragedy.

	Israeli Army Engaged in Fight Over Its Soul (washingtonpost.com)
		With the Israel Defense Forces in the fourth year of battle with the Palestinians, the most dominant institution in Israeli society is also embroiled in a struggle over its own character, according to dozens of interviews with soldiers, officers, reservists and some of the nation's preeminent military analysts.
		And while they do not question the need to prevent terrorist acts against Israelis, military officials and soldiers are speaking out with increasing frequency against a strategy that they say has forsaken negotiation and relied almost exclusively on military force to address the conflict.
		Israeli military officials requested that the full names of active-duty soldiers not be printed for fear that they could be subject to prosecution for war crimes in countries that oppose Israel's actions in the Palestinian territories.

	The Chronicle: 7/26/2002: Why We Should Not Boycott Israeli Academics
		The massive usurpation of land and water resources since the Israeli capture of the territories in 1967, the illegal settling of about 200,000 colonists there, and the harsh and humiliating treatment of an essentially colonized population has provoked a good deal of Israel's problems with the Palestinians.
		Israeli universities have Arab-Israeli students and have conducted hundreds of joint projects with their counterparts in the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia.
		Israeli academics tend to be left of center, and finding one who expresses something other than deep distaste for Sharon is no easy task.

		This was followed in May by Israeli threats to attack Syria and rumors (false ones planted by the Soviets) that Israel was mobilizing to wage an attack.
		Israeli warplanes swept in over the north coast beneath Egyptian radar, then deliberately climbed into radar range before reaching Cairo allowing, it was hoped, just enough time for Egyptian pilots to scramble, get into the cockpits of their planes, but not have enough time to get off the ground.
		Israeli ground troops advanced to the banks of the Suez Canal, and occupied the Golan Heights, Judea, Samaria, Gaza, and the West Bank, which contained half the population of Jordan and half its economic resources.
