The daily hemorrhage of Palestinian lives and property accelerates without respite. Both the Arab andWestern media report horrifically sensational suicide bombings, complete with pictures and names of thevictims as well as gut-wrenching details. I do not hesitate now to say again that these efforts are morallyrepugnant and politically disastrous on all sorts of grounds. But what I find just as awful is the fact thatIsrael kills a far larger number of mostly unarmed Palestinian civilians -- a 90- year-old man here, a wholefamily there, a mentally disabled youth today, a nurse yesterday, and so on -- and refuses to stop or in anyway place restrictions on its troops who have visited mayhem on the Palestinians unremittingly for far toomany recent months.
