If you want truth, www.honestreporting.com
While I agree with the opinions stated on that site, I completely understand people's reluctance to accept what that site states as true.
World Net Daily is edited by an Arab American Christian... I know, go figure.
But what is people's opinions about their reporting?

But when Sharon ORDERS to wreck homes and kill people, that's a whole other thing. He should be sent to Haag for war crimes.
Wreck homes, yes. The homes demolished are either illegal buildings, homes of the families of suicide bombers, or houses that have been used to snipe at IDF positions in the past. And AFAIk, the only time homes have been toppled on top of people have been when armed terrorists were holed up and under seige in the building. AFAIK, in such cases, there have been no other civillians inside the buildings.
But kill civillians? Show me. The only orders I ever got to that effect were as follows:
- If someone with capability (weapon) and intent is threataning your life, or the lives of civillians or fellow soldiers around you, shoot to kill.
- If there is a riot or protest of Palestinians near your position/post, from which accurate and life-threatning shots are being fired towards you or your fellow soldiers, you are only allowed to open fire if you have positively identified the source of the gunfire. If said source is hiding behind women or children, you are still allowed to shoot to kill, even if it means the injury or death of said woman/child being used as a human shield.
Also, is this the best place to inject that the Israeli security forces have successfully prevented at least one major terrorist attack per day since the beginning of the year? These arrests are usually not publicized in the international media, by the way. :-/
