Some years ago I was at the scene of a bad highway accident. Body parts, blood...the works. It left an unbelievable mark on me. I still can not drive past that spot with out thinking of it. An accident. Non intentional violent death. But what Bret Stephens describes is a deliberate act of targeting civilians. For those that have not seen the video of the aftermath. I recomend doing so. The dead deserve our knowing hwat happened to them, not just seeing CNN's sanitised coverage and politically correct platitudes. These were real people. God be with them.

It is a very sad and horrible thing.
I do not believe that it is in the best interest of Israelis to negotiate with terrorists. I also believe that the Media people do a great disservice in many ways when they cover these events with sensationalism and details which include all the gore.
Releasing hundreds of terrorists for the remains of a few victims, hardly seems like a pragmatic action by Government officials who are sworn to maintain the defense of the population.
Sometimes I find such decisions to be as irrational as the terror acts themselves. I guess that I do not have the temperment or wisdom to ever be a diplomat or a politician.

Horrifying....where were the screams and moans of the injured? Were they in shock or something? Morbid, I know, but amazed and chilled at the silence.

Survivors lay on the pavement. One elderly man had flecks of human tissue on the back of his coat and scalp, but otherwise he seemed uninjured. Another man was bleeding from his ear, which had been sliced in half. A woman held her face in her hands, and everything was covered in blood.
