Knows Who the Good Guys Are
RECEIVED Fri., Aug. 25, 2006
Dear Editor,
Every time I think Michael Ventura has lost his mind, he writes a column even crazier [“Letters @ 3AM,” Aug. 18]. Now the Israelis are the moral equivalent of Hezbollah.
I know that Louis Black is having trouble lately with distinguishing right and wrong [“Page Two,” Aug. 18] (especially with all those cultures he has to deal with) but I will arrogantly plow ahead.
Where I come from, hiding behind women and children in a fight is poor form. Dressing like civilians, kidnapping, ransom, and killing all who do not accept your religion is also frowned on. Launching unguided rockets from behind homes at unarmed civilians for terror purposes is simply wrong.
This is not the equivalent of accidentally killing civilians in an attempt to get the terrorist. This type of collateral damage is a known and accepted consequence of war. To imply that Israel is targeting civilians to improve tourism is utterly pathological.
I am not a Jew. I don't have any particular love for Israel. But if you can't tell who the good guys are in this fight then you are one frickin' sick puppy.
