Memory Hole: Palestinian Paradox

(Updated: Originally published November 8, 2006)

"In northern Gaza... Israeli forces and Palestinian militants battled for a sixth straight day before the Israelis began to leave Monday night. At least four Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire, Palestinian medical workers said. One of those killed was a 15-year-old schoolboy, while several other youths were wounded in an Israeli airstrike as they headed to school, the medical workers said (New York Times, November 7, 2006)."

"An Israeli missile aimed at a group of militants landed near a Palestinian kindergarten, killing a teenage boy, critically wounding a teacher and seriously wounding eight children, doctors said (Boston Globe November 7, 2006)."

Presumably the same incident, but who knows?

Airstriking a KINDERGARTEN?! WTF?"
