Perhaps I don't get it. Maybe I don't see the forest from the trees. I understand that Israel has a right to protect itself and its citizens from terrorism, but someone, please explain to me what the fuck is not wrong with this statement:
"the lethal missile strike on the blind, paraplegic cleric outside a Gaza mosque"
?

It's pretty obvious that despite the fact that he's confined to a wheelchair, he caused a lot of suffering and death and would continue to do so had he lived.
