Just another eye opener for pro-Zionists and warmongers, hopefully they can learn something new by the end of this year:
Press Release
683 people killed in the conflict in 2006
28 Dec. 06B’Tselem publishes its 2006 annual statistics. This past year, we witnessed a deterioration in the human rights situation in the Occupied Territories , particularly in the increase in civilians killed and the destruction of houses and infrastructure in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, there was an improvement regarding violations of the right to life of Israeli civilians.
Casualties (figures in parenthesis indicate the total figure since the beginning of the intifada)
According to B’Tselem’s research, from January to December 27, 2006, Israeli security forces killed 660 (4005) Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and in Israel . This includes 141 (811) minors. At least 322 (1920) of those killed did not take part in the hostilities at the time they were killed. Another 22 (210) were targets of assassinations. In the Gaza Strip alone, since the capture of Cpl. Gilad Shalit, Israeli forces killed 405 Palestinians, including 88 minors. Of these, 205 did not participate in the fighting when killed.
Palestinians killed 17 (701) Israeli civilians in 2006, both in the West Bank and inside Israel . This includes 1 (119) minor. In addition, Palestinians killed 6 (316) members of the Israeli security forces.
House Demolitions
Israel demolished 292 houses military operations in the Occupied Territories , 279 of them in the Gaza Strip. These were home to 1,769 people. Some 80 of these demolitions were conducted after the home-owners received advance warning to the demolition. In addition, Israel demolished 42 homes in East Jerusalem that were built without a permit. These were home to about 80 people.
Checkpoints and restrictions on movement
Deep within the West Bank, Israel currently maintains 54 permanent checkpoints, staffed most of the time. 12 other checkpoints are within the city of Hebron . In addition, according to UN OCHA, there are on average some 160 flying checkpoints throughout the West Bank every week. In addition to the checkpoints, the Israeli military has erected hundreds of physical obstacles such as concrete blocks, dirt piles and trenches to restrict access to Palestinian communities. Palestinians have restricted access to some 41 roadways in the West Bank . Israelis have unlimited access to these roadways.
Prisoners and Detainees
As of November, Israel held 9,075 Palestinians in custody, including 345 minors. Of these, 738 (22 minors) were held in administrative detention, without trial and without knowing the charges against them.

Anyone surprised here? Can it be any worse? Yes it can, and no one can stop the occupation from doing any worse than this, not until the world wakes up and U.S. stops the unlimited support to war criminals and terrorists (aka Zionists).
660 Palestinian against 17 of which 141 Palestinian child and 1 Israeli minor! Of course it is a loss for all, but look at it, is there any justification for killing all these people? If the Palestinians are terrorist for killing 17 Israeli, then what do you call the Israelis who killed 660 Palestinian? Innocent, peace lovers? Is that what they are? And if Qassam rockets are so accurate and killed less than 2 Israelis a month (as an average), then if the Israeli Merkava, missiles, Jet fighters, etc… are not the most sophisticated military equipments in the world, then what are they other than a random killing machines used by hopeless terrorists called IDF? Of course they are the most accurate machines used by the worst racist people, aka Zionists.
Israel killed 141 Palestinian children in year 2006 alone, when the Palestinians killed 119 Israeli children since the beginning of Intifada (and I assume they mean 2nd Intifada), which started September, 2000. That means that Israel killed more Palestinian minors in one year than what Palestinians killed in SIX years. Again, this is not a justification to kill more, but the question is; who is the REAL TERRORIST? Is it the Palestinian who are fighting for their rights and land, or the Zionist occupier who is stealing more land and killing more innocents than any other terrorist in the history?
The answer is simple: Zionists and their supporters are the cancer of our time, and they should but put to an end.
Action alert: Write to your Congressmen, wish him/her a “Happy New Year” and ask him/her to stop supporting Israel so this massacre may stop!
