Over the years I’ve lost two friends, one Palestinian and one Lebanese, and nearly lost a third, a French cameraman, to the willingness of IDF soldiers to open fire even though they knew perfectly well who they were. But they felt sure their superiors would protect them.

How is it possible to 'accidentally' bomb 3 separate cars 1.5 miles apart? Surely this would suggest that the aid workers in their charity branded vehicles were targeted unlawfully?

My solution to the Elgin Marbles is to agree to return them, but then make really convincing replicas and then ship them back to Greece inside an enormous wooden horse. Yep, they'll soon work out they've been tricked, but they can't really complain about it, can they?
