But...I thought all the Palestinians were supportive of terrorists...?

This story proves to me that the collective punishment of the Palestinian people by the Israeli government is truly wrong.

May 20, 2003 | BEIT HANOUN, Gaza Strip (AP) -- Palestinian residents of a northern Gaza town demonstrated Tuesday after Israelis destroyed buildings and farms there in a five-day invasion, but in a rare twist, their wrath was directed at Palestinian militants for firing rockets from their property, not at the Israelis.
Israeli forces pulled back to the edge of the town, Beit Hanoun, a letup that came despite a bloody wave of Palestinian suicide bombings that killed 12 bystanders, hinting Israel might not undertake a large-scale punitive military operation that would further weaken the new Palestinian premier, Mahmoud Abbas

The residents said the Israeli military demolished 15 houses, uprooted thousands of trees and damaged the water and sewage systems.
The demonstrators blocked a main road with trash cans, rocks and burning tires in a show of outrage against the militants. Most of the rockets are launched by members of the violent Islamic Hamas.
"They (the militants) claim they are heroes," said Mohammed Zaaneen, 30, a farmer, as he carried rocks into the street. "They brought us only destruction and made us homeless. They used our farms, our houses and our children ... to hide."

To quote someone my father met while travelling through this area, this conflict is not between the Palestinians and the Israelis. It is between Palestinians and Israelis who want peace and Palestinians and Israelis who do not. I'm starting to think that as part of the "Road Map", Hamas and the IDF should both be shipped to a tiny, treeless island somewhere in the pacific ocean where they can kill eachother to their hearts content. That way the normal, civilian, un-bloodthirsty residents of the region can live in peace.
