Also on Channel 4 news this evening there was a report on the continued assault on Gaza, which began with pictures of three very young and very dead children being taken to their inconsolable father who quite understandably could not do or say anything sensible faced with this terrible image.
I wonder what this poor man will decide to do when he has recovered some composure. Perhaps he will recognise Israel's need for security and agree that the slaughter of his children was 'unfortunate'. He might also be consoled by the US administration 'regretting' their deaths.
Then again, he might decide that he has nothing to lose by using all means at his disposal to fight the people who killed his family and side with Hamas in seeking their revenge.
I wonder what he will do. I wonder if the deaths of these children will hasten 'peace' in Palestine and Israel or if they will help to sink the two countries further into mutual destruction - if a slaughter ratio of 10:1 in Israel's favour can be considered 'mutual'.
