East Durham, N.Y.: So, after killing more than 30,000 souls in less than six months, Israel killed seven humanitarian workers. But six of them were white-skinned Westerners from countries that give Israel the backing it needs to continue its killing, so now it’s a problem.

Of course, we have to wait for Israel’s military to investigate itself, although we know it targeted one vehicle, saw a few survivors get into another vehicle and struck that, then tracked the remaining survivors fleeing for their lives in a third vehicle and finished them off over a mile away. Initially, Israel blamed the carnage on a Hamas explosive. That didn’t stick, so they said they thought a terrorist was in there somewhere. But the British security escorts wouldn’t have allowed that, so it must have been a big misunderstanding.

Luckily, a newspaper clipping titled “A quick guide to Israel’s PR methods” has been on the internet for years, so let’s see where we are. It goes like this: 1) We haven’t heard reports of deaths, we’ll look into it. 2) The people were killed, but by a Palestinian rocket/bomb. 3) OK, we killed them, but they were terrorists. 4) OK, they were civilians, but they were being used as human shields. 5) OK, there were no fighters in the area, so it was our mistake. But we kill civilians by accident — they do it on purpose. 6) OK, we kill far more civilians than they do, but look at how terrible other countries are! 7) Why are you still talking about Israel? Are you some kind of antisemite?

Test this against the next interview you hear or watch. Walt Finnigan

Brooklyn: Israel’s accidental killing of seven food aid workers seems to be getting more attention than Hamas’ deliberate, inhumane torture and killing of 1,200 Israelis. President Biden getting tough with Israel shows his complete lack of any ability to manage global affairs. He seems to have no influence on Iran, Syria, the Houthis, Russia........
