This sad story should not surprise anyone who knows about the infinite number of ways in which Israel makes life for the Palestinians a daily hell. Whether it's illegal confiscation of land, bulldozing of houses and ancient olive groves, destruction of personal property, harassment at check-points, blockades of goods and services, etc., etc., Israel concocts endless schemes to deprive an entire people of the most basic freedoms and human rights. And to add insult to injury, the Israelis manage to recast the scenario to make it appear that the victims are responsible for their woes. Oy vai!
