How to Justify Murder
War Crimes Posted by aron on March 18 2008 (Tuesday) : 11:14 AM

The BBC has this article about the horrific conditions in Gaza. The article contains an astonishing quote from an Israeli spokesmen, justifying Israel's refusal to let a young cancer patient leave Gaza for treatment in Egypt:

"And when we got on to the subject of seriously ill patients being allowed out of Gaza for treatment, he told me that, while some patients had been let out, it was his view that terminally ill ones posed a potential danger to Israel."

"They had nothing to live for, he suggested, so they might blow themselves up and become suicide bombers."
