Diary: Tell 'em you also hate terrorists Part 4

The next day, another incident, Hale again carving up the spokesperson. "Are you..are you (shakes head sadly)..eager to get up in the morning to ..to ( waits, pen ready, looks up)"support actions like this?" I then felt panic. I wanted him to stop. The Israelis had just splattered a quadriplegic in the middle of a crowded plaza.

They can cross continents to kidnap Nazis. They can go to Africa and pull off spectacular rescues of hostages from horrible dictators. No argument. But they can also lift peaceful people in London and our authorities do nothing to prevent them. Now they had killed a wheelchair bound cleric by firing missiles into a mass of people, from a helicopter. Hale, who was a real threat they could easily get to. However, he survived and still does his mauling every night whereas the Major seems to have gone back to explaining kid's deaths locally rather than risk another splattering from our boy.

My least forgettable televised child horror moment is not the Vietnamese girl running covered in Napalm. My most memorable TV nightmare is having seen a young Israeli soldier joking at first, with his comrades about his inability to break a stone throwing child's arm. Then he became more and more frustrated. It won't break! He is frantically hitting the boy's arm with a stone as his colleagues mock him.

The look on the soldier's face I can never forget. He had crossed a line .This child was the untermenchen. A Palestinian family were being interviewed about that time and said the worst thing about the occupation is that the soldiers do the toilet on their roofs. I wonder if the people who fought in the sewers of Warsaw ever thought it would come to this.
