Israeli atrocities on the increase in 2006

Israeli civil rights organisation "B'Tselem" published it's annual report two days ago. Some of the low-lights are:

• 660 Palestinians killed by Israeli security forces, at least 322 of which were not involved in active hostilities at the time, and 141 of which were minors. This is in comparison to a total of 23 Israelis killed by Palestinians including 17 civilians, one of which was a minor.
• Israel demolished in the order of 300 Palestinian homes, rendering about 1,800 Palestinians homeless. The Palestinians didn't demolish any Israeli homes.

Clearly, the nasty, ruthless Palestinians aren't as good as the Israelis at terrorism, and the nice, civilised, humanitarian Israelis are getting into the swing of this genocide thing.
