Massacre of children? What massacre of children?

Steven Erlanger writes a tribute to the Israeli terrorist army here. And while the entire world acknowledged that Israeli terrorists committed a massacre at a school, Erlanger is not sure: "While accounts of exactly what happened were unclear on Tuesday night." Unclear to whom? To you, Mr. Erlanger? Do you think that the accounts are clear to those who died? Or to their parents? Or are accounts foggy in their minds too? He then adds: "The army and government have also made it clear that Palestinian civilians will die in this war, because of the way Hamas has chosen to fight it from within the densely populated urban centers of Gaza. But events like the deaths of schoolchildren are harder to swallow." So Erlanger is telling that it is easy to "swallow" the deaths of Palstinian civilians, but that the death of schoolchildren are "harder to swallow". I wonder if he will be able to swallow it with a glass of water. And then he quotes a well-known champion of Israeli terrorism: "A Qana is not just a function of the numbers of civilians killed..." Yeah. It is not in the number...for you and for fellow Zionists, but it is a matter of numbers for...us.
