I don't think so - I think it's been portrayed as disproportionate, but that
doesn't prove it one way or the other.

do you think that that kid was killed intentionally? I seriously doubt it,
and even if he was, I'm abosultly sure that that soldier will stand trial, and
wasn't following orders.

hmmm... rubber bullets in responce to attempts on one life is a little
disproportionate, I'll agree... though twards the other way. Live ammo
_should_ be used when someone is trying to kill you, don't you agree?

after giving 3 hours warning for people to evacuate the area...

throwing much more than stones... molotov cocktails (firebombs), shootings...
missile attacks in the north (though that's the h'isballa, not the fatah).

accepting such a review when the outcome is predetermined will only help
Arafats PR... I'm sure, that once things will settle down, a review will
be welcomed.
