Tonight I will publish a portion of an editorial from Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, as quoted in an article by Thomas Friedman in today’s New York Times:
On Tuesday the Israel Air Force killed nine children, between the ages of 3 and 14.
.....The Israeli military said that the target was a “Hamas command and control center” and that “steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming uninvolved civilians.”...We can continue to ignore the numbers of Palestinians in the Strip who have been killed–more than 52,000, including around 18,000 children; to question the credibility of the figures, to use all the mechanisms of repression, denial, apathy, distancing, normalization and justification. None of this will change the bitter fact: Israel killed them. Our hands did this. We must not avert our eyes. We must wake up and cry out loudly: Stop the war.
