Who but the New York Times can put a positive spin on Israeli killing of Palestinian minors? "A report by Btselem, an Israeli human rights group, said Israeli security forces killed 373 Palestinians in 2007, 290 of them in Gaza and 83 in the West Bank, 53 among them minors. In 2006, 657 Palestinians were killed, including 140 minors, Btselem said. The percentage of Palestinian civilians killed who were not involved in hostilities also declined in 2007, to 35 percent, from 54 percent in 2006, Btselem said."
