The kind of terrorism America supports (politically and financially)

The only surprising thing about this story is that it has come out (at least in the UK; I'll be surprised if the US coverage even gets the Downing Street memo treatment):

"Two Israeli soldiers have come forward to describe how they took part [in February, 2002] in what they say was an officially ordered 'revenge' operation to kill Palestinian police officers among them several unarmed men.

"In graphic testimony, one soldier has confessed that he 'really enjoyed' a chase in which he shot an unarmed Palestinian in the head who was trying to escape during a series of reprisal raids ordered the day after the killing of six Israeli soldiers in an ambush by militant gunmen three years ago.

"In what may be the first inside account of such an operation, the soldiers from two reconnaissance units say they were among troops ordered by their commanders to 'liquidate' the police officers at a series of Palestinian West Bank checkpoints even though they were given no evidence they had been involved in the killing of the Israelis.

"The raids were among a series of ground and air attacks which, in all, killed 15 Palestinians, 12 of them policemen in and around Nablus and Ramallah, 24 hours after the six Israeli soldiers were killed at a military post in the village of Ein Arik, west of Ramallah, at the height of the intifada."
