Of Pity & Aim

Murderous Strategies - Marty Peretz
I am not indifferent to the death of Palestinians. I am especially not indifferent [when] caused by Israeli fire. I do know who is indifferent to the death of Palestinians, and especially ecstatic if they are killed by Israeli fire.
Palestinians themselves.

Have pity on the Palestinians. But aim your criticism at those who think killing Jews is a solution to the Palestinian problem.

Stopping Palestinian Rockets - Anshel Pfeffer
In Gaza there is no job with a lower life-expectancy than a member of a rocket team.

The IDF [has] managed to make it virtually impossible for the Palestinians to take real aim.
