Ever since returning to programs only so many

While it may be true, as

army has tried to warn civi-

I am not suggesting that
such warnings, e.g., drop-
ping leaflets from airplanes,
using loud speakers, etc.,
makes the war more
"humane," only that it re-
veals that the Israeli army
is at least trying to avoid
killing innocent victims.
Does the PLO even do as
much?
