Ethan Bronner: justifying the murder of Palestinian women

Here, Ethan Bronner, justifies the Israeli terrorist murder of Palestinian women: "Israeli experts noted that Palestinian women had served as suicide bombers in the past so that soldiers in Gaza did not always know when a woman was approaching whether she was a threat." Tomorrow, Bronner may write a follow up story to justify the murder of Palestinian children although he does some of that in this article when he argues that not all Palestinian children who were murdered were actually children. So according to Bronner, if a Palestianin civilian who is above the age of, say 12, is killed it is justifiable because he/she is not a child. But you know what is very ironic about Bronner's crude propaganda piece here? I mean, the Israeli terrorist soldiers are confession that they were ordered to kill women and children and they recount the murder of women and children and Bronner follows them with stories that they did not actually do what they are confession to doing. This is classic case of propagandizing for the enemey: extreme, even by Bronner's standards of services to Israeli military propaganda. (thanks Sarah)
