Ed Husain can’t believe the IDF launched air strikes on the seventh day.
How can the children of Holocaust survivors become such brutal killers? And during the Sabbath?
Amin Saikal's more perturbed by seasonal timing.
Israel could not have chosen a more inappropriate time to attack than the period between Christmas and New Year, when the world's attention is focused on messages of peace and goodwill, and when the US presidency is in a transitional mode.
The Hamas rockets ruin Israel's day of rest, and nobody confuses them with expressions of "peace and goodwill."
More importantly, since this Islamic fundamentalist organization had religious dispensation to fire rockets during the recent holy, peaceful month of Ramadan, a time supposedly for making peace with enemies, who are Husain and Saikal to demand Israel be more pious than Hamas?
