CarolC,

Again the intended "victims" in the Lavon Affair were buildings not people. However, I make no excuses for it. It was wrong (btw, I think the King David bombing was wrong too) and many heads in Israel rolled because of it.

Just for the record, CarolC, I too am against the occupation and want it ended.

My posting was a response to the ridiculous moral equivalency of the King David Hotel bombing with Hamas' homicidal suicide bombings aimed at civilians.

Let it not be forgotten that the goal of Palestinian terrorism is specifically to provoke over the top responses from Israel that will result in greater losses to the Palestinians. The leaders of Hamas and other terrorist groups know that greater losses of Palestinian life will be the consequence of their actions. They don't care. To them, their own people are worth more as dead "martyrs" than they are alive. They are evil.
