Bob, let me talk to you man to man (I trust those engaged in the wider debate will forgive me). I thank all that’s good in the world for those who shout loud and clear that all war is a catastrophe, for those who stick flowers in gun muzzles. Who knows if the Lebanese boy still buried under the rubble of his home may not have been the next Picasso or Mozart? The tragedy goes beyond words, but it’s absolutely crucial that one does not confuse that voice with the voice of those who just hate Israel (I would not be so presumptuous as to include you). How does one discriminate?
Sincerely,
Stephen
