(Comments to a misleading CNN report, part XXXVII.)

Israelis celebrate every year the bombing of King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946, which is still the most devastating bomb attack in the area of former British Palestine. 90 people died.

People who did it are great heroes in Israel and according to Benyamin Netanyahu, the British were guilty of the deaths, not those who placed and exploded the bomb.

Armed settlers are legitimate targets, under international law armed civilians operating on a conflict area in co-operation with normal military units are in all things equivalent to standard military troops when it both comes to attacks against them and their treatment if they are captured.

When it comes to children, those attacks are of cf course illegal in international law and in my opinion there should be an international court of law for Palestine to study and try persons from all sides who are guilty of human rights violations and war crimes.

Samer Issawi was born in 1979.

He has lived his entire under Israeli occupation and lost his brother when he was 15, his brother being killed by Israel.

Israel could have chosen peace any time it wanted and all those you listed could still be alive. An Israeli government committee proposed a peace deal with Palestinians in 1967 that would have given Palestinians the newly Israeli occupied areas. But this proposal was turned down in a "state of national euphoria".
