"I think the Israeli shelling is easier to deal with", said 13-year-old Khaled Khatib, who fled a gun battle in his neighborhood Tuesday and saw two children wounded by gunfire. "We are used to the shelling, and we know who the target is." <snip

Many said it's the darkest chapter in Gaza's blood-soaked history."<snip

Looks bad. Apparently, the situation is getting worse.

1. some truth is starting to "leak out"

We are used to the shelling, and we know who the target is

i guess now its clear who does the indiscriminate killing and who doesnt

2. By "target"..

...they mean Israelis (eg. easily recognized enemy), but you probably know that deep down.

The only "truth" is that it is easier to deal with strife from without than within.

3. actually "deep down"..

i know that citizen palestenain especially those in gaza and the Christians in Bethlehem are yearning for the preintifada I days....and are cursing Mr. Arafat and his cronies.....

its been said before from the palestenians in gaza.....at least with israeli strikes they had specific targets and kept to them.....the present situation is complete breakdown of personal security...

4. Apparently, the 'Deep Down'

poster is an expert psychologist who who knows your (Israeli?) true 'deep down' thoughts and feelings. I'm impressed at the self-confidence displayed.
