Once again, we are learning that when it comes to the conflict in
Palestine/Israel, some lives are worth more than others. Earlier
today, dozens of Qassam rockets fired from the Gaza Strip fell on
Sderot, the Israeli town that has borne the brunt of Palestinian
rocket fire over the last few years. This time, an Israeli man,
"father-of-four" Roni Yechiah, was killed in a car park by shrapnel.
Others have suffered injuries.
Even as I write this, however, there is news that in the Gaza Strip,
the Israeli military, in separate attacks, has killed a 6 month old
baby and three Palestinian children age 10, 12 and 14. No names yet.
In the case of the three children, the Israeli army claims that it was
aiming at militants, and a spokesperson said it was "strange" that
there should be children around the alleged vicinity of rocket
launchers.
