The children’s war, part II

Here’s the flip side to the Keret/Geffen article linked below, from Jeffrey Goldberg’s interview with Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down

“I believe that culpability for these casualties is very much with Hamas. Take this leader, Nizar Rayyan, who was killed with many of his children. He knew he was a target. If I knew that I was a target, I sure as hell wouldn’t have my children near me. It’s a horrible and cynical choice he made. But if your enemy is a sophisticated manipulator of public opinion, then this is one of the many downsides of choosing to go to war. Israel knows that.”
