Palestine: the assault on health and other war crimes
Does the death of an Arab weigh the same as that of a US or Israeli citizen? The Israeli army, with utter impunity, has killed more unarmed Palestinian civilians since September 2000 than the number of people who died on September 11, 2001. In conducting 238 extrajudicial executions the army has also killed 186 bystanders (including 26 women and 39 children). Two thirds of the 621 children (two thirds under 15 years) killed at checkpoints, in the street, on the way to school, in their homes, ...

Hostages to captives: Why some 'civilians'
may be fair game
The kidnapping of the director of Care International in Iraq has fuelled a debate over the legitimacy of taking hostages and killing captives.
For British Prime Minister Tony Blair, abducting 60-year-old aid worker Margaret Hassan "shows the kind of people that we are up against".
For Australian journalist John Martinkus, seizing foreign nationals is an intelligent way of "fighting a war" when you are outnumbered and outgunned. And unlike Blair, Martinkus has first h...

Read the following account of anarchists taking on this issue, that is, if you can stop knocking yourself out with y...
