Gee... wonder why the usual suspects aren't moaning and groaning, given they're the ones who get so offended by checkpoints....
Where are the loonies on this? If it were a palestinian with a hangnail, we'd have twelve threads on it already....

JERUSALEM - Two Israeli policemen were shot to death yesterday while traveling in their vehicle near a Jewish settlement in the West Bank, and authorities said they suspected a Palestinian attack.

Over the past year, the army has removed some checkpoints in the West Bank to give Palestinians greater freedom of movement and improve the climate for US-brokered talks aimed at creating a Palestinian state.
Hours before the shooting, the army removed one such barrier northwest of Nablus, the main city in the northern West Bank. The checkpoint had restricted traffic between Nablus and several villages since 2001.
