Israeli army shutters Palestinian TV station

The independent community television station in Ramallah, which had helped produce the joint Israeli-Palestinian version of Sesame Street, was gutted by the Israeli army. Declan McCullagh's politech list has a first-person account.

This is part of a pattern of behavior by the Israeli military. It seems like their only goal is to destroy everything that has been built since the Oslo accords were signed, and is inevitably ensuring that they'll need to continue to occupy the West Bank to maintain Israel's security as a result.
