The Jenin Hospital director, Mohammed Abu Ghali, said the bullets retrieved from Hook's abdomen were so-called "dum-dum" bullets, which explode on impact, and which Palestinians say Israeli soldiers use. The army has denied using such ammunition.

Lt. Col. Olivier Rafowicz, an army spokesman, said Abu Ghali was unreliable and the Palestinians should check their own ammunition.

Wait till Palie's get the guy who sold them the ammunition and swore it was genuine IDF ordnance.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan was "greatly disturbed" the army prevented the ambulance from getting through immediately, spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in New York.

Oh go to hell Kofi!!!

This whole TARFU is on the hands of the UN, every time Israel gets the upper hand and begins to strangle these slugs you and your liberal ilk both here and in Europe cry foul.

Why don't you and your band of merry bandits go back to Africa maybe there you can keep that bunch of animals from killing themselves over a freaking beauty pageants!!!

The Israelis are using M16's/M4 Carbines and Galils. Both use standard Nato 5.22mm rounds. To my knowledge, there are no exploding rounds of this scall size.
The Palestinains have AKMs/AK-47s wich have a 7.65mm round. There are explosing versions of this round.

You might want to check your facts and report back to us. Firstly, nobody here is supposed to report to you.

Secondly, if you know enough to suspect --- or better yet, know --- that teh quoted facts are incorrect, why don't you share --- not report, but share --- them with us?

The United Nations accused Israeli soldiers of preventing an ambulance from immediately reaching Iain Hook, a senior manager for UNRWA, the U.N. agency that helps Palestinian refugees Hamas.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan was "greatly disturbed" the army prevented the ambulance from
getting through immediately, spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in New York.

So this world class parasite, is greatly disturbed.  Well so am I Mr Annan.  After just about every bus bombing, and other act of terrorism on Israel's soil, I wait for you to make similar pronoucements.  A bus blew up today, I am "greatly disturbed".  A coffee shot blew up today, I am "greatly disturbed".  A public square was blown up today, I am "greatly disturbed".  Tens or hundreds of Israelis were wounded or killed today, I am "greatly disturbed".  Well Kofi, on the measure of a man, you rank down there with the lower life forms.  One of your own dies, it's a real tragedy.  Tens of Israelis die and it's wrong, but understandable.

I can't think of a single instance where you have made a definitive statement that Palestinian terrorism must, and will stop or else.  That's very revealing in my opinion.

If I can feel sympathy for innocent Palestinians who are killed, I would think you could say more, condemn more the folks who are the real problems in the middle-east.  Sadly, you can't, or won't, unless it's a passing aside during a condemnation of the Israel victims for being so intransigent.

It the Palestinians didn't receive so much aid and comfort from you and the European community, we wouldn't be in this mess.  The fact that your people are on the West Bank at all is somewhat revealatory in the problems that Israel faces.  While Israel tries to impress upon the Palestinians the price that will be paid for terrorism, your forces seek to nullify it's message through aid and condemnations of the victim of terrorism, rather than the perpetrators.

The Palestinians could have had a homeland in 1948 dickhead.  It's nobody's fault but their own that they don't today.  The PLO is still perpetrating the same acts that it and some Israelis did prior to 1948.  Israel has grown up.  The Palestinians haven't.  And you are still slumbering into oblivion.

With the incursion, Israel has retaken control of all Palestinian population centers in the West Bank except for the quiet oasis of Jericho — mirroring the massive deployment that capped military offensives in April and June.

I wonder if there's a message in here somewhere Mr. Annan.  If you can gather all the braintrusts of the UN together and figure out what it is, perhaps you can pass it along to the worlds longest standing and most respected (by the United Nations) terrorist, Yasser Arafat.  And perhaps it might spur a change in tone from your ogranization.

Isn't that against some kind of UN rule, Kofi?...Kofi?, oh sorry your to busy being "greatly disturbed".

The Galil also comes in a .308 caliber and the Palis were given plenty of M16/M4s. A dum-dum can be made by sawing the tip off of any FMJ round, it's basically just a hollow-point for a rifle. There is a very common HP round made in Russia for the 7.62x39 that is very cheap. It's packaged in the US as Wolf.

Not the Galils in service.
The claim was an "explosive" bullet. That is very different than the mushroom effect of a soft point.

I greatly support Israel in any action they decide to take against the filthy monsters that would kill their children.

And they could have had one during Clinton from the Oslo Accords I believe, but they turned it down. Why don't these guys realize that the primary goal is not the establisment of a Palestinaian state, but the destruction of the Isralie state. Anybody home . . . . . ?
