Worth noting today

"U.N. humanitarian chief John Holmes told reporters in New York on Monday that U.N. officials believe at least 500 people have been killed in the fighting and that as many as 25 percent are civilians." Hmm so 75% of the 500 were armed terrorists vowing to destroy Israel. Too bad Israel couldn't achieve the standard 100% that all other wars go by.

No one wants to see civilians being killed. Every decent person will be
dismayed that it has come to this.What is profoundly troubling, however, is that as the Israeli ground offensive escalates hostilities still further, so many in Britain don’t understand that, appalling as this war is, the alternative is even worse.
This is a war that Israel spent more than seven years trying to avoid, while no fewer than 6,000 rockets and other missiles rained down from Gaza upon its southern towns. No other country in the world would have sat on its hands while its traumatised children were raised in bomb shelters.
