Israel's inpunity

I'd be willing to bet a great deal of money that if 15 Israelis were killed in less than a week by Palestinian shell and air attacks suicide bombings, you'd hear a lot about it. When the violence goes the other way, of course, it's hardly reported at all.

I'll also venture to say that if Tom Hurndall had happened to be killed in virtually any country other than Israel, his name and story would be much more widely known (and agonized over).
