Letter: Israel need not issue an apology

Friday, July 26, 2002 | 3:48 a.m.

Israel should not be apologizing to anyone for the deaths in Gaza. A mass murderer and his family were killed as well as other people. When the United States kills innocent people going after the enemy it is called "collateral damage." When Israel kills a few civilians the entire world rises up in condemnation. When the Palestinians target and murder innocent men, women and children, no one says a thing. When Israel kills a few civilians, the entire world rises up in condemnation.

No, Israel has nothing to apologize for. Israel killed the man who had caused the deaths of hundreds of Israelis. Israel killed the man who was planning a mass bombing to murder hundreds more Israelis. Israel truly has nothing to apologize for and no one to apologize to. In fact, the nations of this planet ought to be getting down on their knees and apologizing to Israel for allowing the terrorists to exist.
