Hi B,
This is a at worst a dreadful - and extremely rare - mistake by the IDF. If
this were an attack by the other side, they would have deliberately targeted
the civilians.
Am I alone in seeing this important point? Can someone please link to any
Sun articles about "Palestinians massacre kids" as they did last month by
rifle but normally do by bomb?
What is truly terrible is the deliberate slaughter of innocents. This
however is a tragic accident of war.
Finally, can I say that those who accuse people who object to Israeli
actions as anti-Semitic are taking cheap shot. Just like opposition to a
war does not automatically make one an appeaser or a pacifist.
Son please do not legitimise anti-Semitism - a form of bigotry equal to
racism - by implying it is ever justified by the actions of the state of
Israel. Anti-Semitism refers to Jews everywhere. Opposition to Israel refers
to the actions of the government of Israel. Lets keep these separate in the
interests of accuracy and fairness.
Regards
Jonathan
P.S. The skeptic in me wonders if the same people who blow up mosques and
Iraqi schoolchildren might not have decided to sacrifice a few Palestinian
children in the interests of propaganda. I will wait for the dust to settle
before I believe anything (least of all The Sun's reports) especially after
the so called Jenin Massacre, also widely condemned and hysterically
denounced, turned out never to have happened.

I dont think there is anything wrong in being 'anti semitic' against israel
when it comes to its current appalling behaviour. Anyone with me?
