"Israeli tanks and armored vehicles are surrounding Palestinian villages, camps and cities (and not the other way around).
Israeli (American made) Apache gun ships are firing Lau and other missiles at Palestinian protestors and homes (and not the other way around).
It is Israel that is confiscating Palestinian land and importing Jewish settlers to set up illegal armed settlements in the heart of Palestinian territory (and not the other way around).
The settlers on the rampage in the West Bank are Israelis terrorizing Palestinians in their own homes (and not the other way around).
The homes that are being demolished at the hands of the Israelis are Palestinian homes (and not the other way around).
The armed soldiers and Special Forces at checkpoints throughout Palestine are Israeli (and not the other way around).
The more than a hundred murdered civilians and thousands of injured are all Palestinians being shot by Israeli occupation troops (and not the other way around).
It is Israel that has closed down the Palestinian airport at Gaza thereby preventing badly needed medical supplies from reaching the Palestinians (and not the other way around).
The crossing points to and from Palestine as well as entrances and exits to and from all Palestinian inhabited areas are manned and controlled by Israeli soldiers who have completely prevented all freedom of movement (and not the other way around)."
