Targets

A reminder:

The public buses in Israel are used by uniformed military personnel to get around. So in those cases, there are indeed military targets: soldiers.

This doesn't justify the slaughter of other riders, civilians who happen to be on the bus. What would you wager that the families of dead Palestinian bystanders, such as the children killed on the way to school, feel the same about Israeli military actions that result in the deaths of their relatives?

Violence breeds more violence.

        Hold the Israelis responsible for what they have done since the Yom Kippur war as well. - Mary Anne - 4/12/2004 1:15:56 PM

        There is no amount of humiliation that justifies setting off a nail bomb in a cafeteria. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 4/9/2004 12:45:26 AM
        
        there still is humiliation and oppression and that does breed violence. - FrankC - 4/8/2004 7:25:13 PM
