It’s bad enough when pundits use euphemisms to minimize civilian deaths from indiscriminate bombing, but it is truly despicable when they refuse to acknowledge the deaths at all.
"You will search Friedman’s column in vain for any mention of the number of Palestinians killed"
Daniel, I went back and looked - and apologies if I missed it - but in not one of your recent pieces on the fighting in Gaza do you even mention the fact that 10 Israelis were killed by Hamas rockets. Again, it's possible that I missed it, but I don't even see mention of the fact that Hamas fired more than 4,000 rockets into Israel, aimed almost exclusively at civilian targets (which last time I checked is a war crime). Just a reminder that what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
