Proportionality

From today’s New York Times:

After 22 days of war against Hamas, and the deaths of more than 1,200 Palestinians and 13 Israelis, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert insisted that “we have reached all the goals of the war, and beyond.”

From today’s Al Jazeera:

Israeli forces demolished the house of the Sammouni family in Gaza City after ordering them to remain in it for safety. Twenty-seven members of the family died and another 90 Gazans remained trapped under the rubble, with rescue efforts hampered by Israeli forces.
