It describes a Hamas attack on an unambiguous Israeli military target (a Gaza border checkpoint), for which Israel retaliates by firing two (Salon states three) missiles into the heart of Deir al-Balah refugee camp, totally destroying the Al Ehsan Charity Organization's facility and damaging a neighboring medical center and several houses.
Parsing this one, we have:
1) the Palestinians attacking a bonafide military target, killing six Israeli soldiers (comes in somewhat low on the 'aghast index' given that, face it, this is a war);
2) the Israelis counterattacking against a very soft civilian target (more definitive as an example of terrorism, even if they did use multi-million-dollar equipment);
3) and from this account the human cockroach CT comes away with a critique of only the Palestinian action, which he equates with a C-4 overcoat being triggered on a school bus.
Altogether, a classic zionist hatchet-job on the thing called reality.
Also, compare the hit count for news stories on the Karni bombing (1,080 hits) ...
Israeli retribution has already been widespread and indiscriminate, and will certainly continue to be for weeks. Here's the only detailed discussion I could find:
