Independent Media Center, Israel http://indymedia.org.il A couple more things, Kenny... author: Dave

Even though the event I posted happened half a century ago, have attitudes really changed since then, or are they even more severe? And, although you mention the girl's possible fate if she had not been murdered, the point of the story was that she was raped multiple times... no amount of justification for how confused people were then can excuse the multiple rape and murder of anyone - regardless of what was happening; especially when the rapists were surely well-schooled in Gds Laws. I do have to say this, Kenny: justifying a 'fault' magnifies it. The only way Ican see for the wounds that both sides carry to have any chance of healing, is for no fresh wounds to be inflicted. Tit-for-tat violence is the road to the escalation of violence. It may be difficult for either side to 'turn the other cheek', but apart from the eventual anhialation of either one or the other side (or worse, both sides), 'turning the other cheek' is the only way to eventual peace.
