Grim Milestone moment
Elder of Zion has been tracking the death of Palestinians—killed by other Palestinians. The number is now 500 501. This post is a must-read, and a must-link. (That means you, blogosphere.)
We have reached the “grim milestone” of 500 PalArabs that we have been able to document violently killed by each other this year.
Since we started the self-death count 13 months ago, we have documented 705 violent deaths of Palestinian Arabs due to infighting, honor killings, “work accidents,” shootings during funerals and weddings, children picking up bombs being built by their parents, and similar self-inflicted incidents.
Calling all reporters: Here’s a different death count you can use as a reference.

You’re a bit behind - we are up to 504.
The upper right corner of my website keeps a running total, including the number of women and children killed this year (31 and 34, respectively.)
Thanks for the link!

Surely that’s a redundency Paul, like political corruption.

Milestones are markers placed on the side of the road to indicate how far you’ve come on your journey, or how far you have to go to reach journeys end.
I wonder which this particular form of milestone is indicating?
