What Happened in Gaza--Washington Post

Among the reports of various disasters all over the world, less is said about the carnage in Gaza. However, that disaster didn't have to happen, and we support it with our tax dollars.

"The war last summer between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip left more than 2,100 Palestinians dead and vast areas reduced to rubble. On Monday a group of Israeli veterans released sobering testimony from fellow soldiers that suggests permissive rules of engagement coupled with indiscriminate artillery fire contributed to the mass destruction and high numbers of civilian casualties in the coastal enclave."
