Moving targets
10:06am Tuesday 20th November 2012 in Letters By Reader's letter
WHEN we see the deadly accuracy with which the Israelis target their enemies with remote controlled rockets, it makes us aware of what the next war would be like if there ever was one, God forbid.
Hitting a moving car and specific buildings time and again. I suspect that they want others to see what they are capable of. Iran for one.

The remarks from Israeli commanders and politicians make it very clear indeed that the aim of the onslaught on gaza is to "bomb it back to the middle ages", "flatten it", and visit a "holocaust" upon its inhabitants.
If that language were not enough, there's even talk of "Hiroshima".
The Israeli state seems intent on cold-blooded murder; it is clearly a terrorist state, but one which has the whole-hearted support of President Obama and prime minister Cameron.

Oh Allah, destroy the Americans and their supporters. Oh Allah, count them one by one, and kill them all, without leaving a single one."
If the Israeli attacks are indeed "accurate", we must assume that they deliberately set out to kill children.

What the headlines tell us repeatedly is that Israel have launched a rocket, then when you get half way down the page, where few will bother to read, you may then find that Hamas have been bombing for days before hand, aided by Saudi and Iran. Some papers don`t even mention that, making it look like only Israel are bombing.
Just saying, in the interests of balance.

There are 1.6 million people living on this strip with around half of them children meaning that the next generation will be almost totally dependent on aid. Will that aid too be spent on rockets or will they make peace with their neighbour? Martyrdom a key word here with the Palestinian culture and outlook!
At least the Israeli missiles are targeted, more than I can say for Hamas rockets.

It's in sharp contrast to the approach taken by Arab terrorists who have been sending unguided rockets into Israel.
