The assault on Beit Hanoun is a terrifying example of what lies in store for Palestinians By Sami Abdel-Shafi in Gaza City
The initiation of Avigdor Lieberman - widely regarded as an outright racist - into Ehud Olmert's Israeli government seems to have already brought a taste of things to come.

By yesterday, more than 260 Palestinians lay dead and injured, with 53 fatalities - women, children and ambulance drivers among them.
