If so, the Reader may have deleted the passage discussing Israel and her actions vis a vis the Intifada. While I do not condone many of Israel’s actions I resent the comparison of Israel to terrorists. Israel may do things wrong, but she does not attack innocent civilians in airports around the world, or people enjoying a holiday at a local beach.

Even more obscene is Mr. McClory’s inclusion of these paragraphs in an article otherwise devoted to one of the saddest acts in human history, and to people who suffered from it. I feel sorry for those victims drawn in by the headline who are forced to read this insipid attack on what they believe. The Reader should know better.

Due to an editing error, a sentence in my story that had referred to Palestinian terrorist attacks on civilians was changed to refer to Israeli terrorist attacks, which meaning I in no way intended.
