PLEASE HELP 5 CHILDREN ORPHANED IN THIS LAST WAR! can you put this missile is context? that doesn’t change the idea of helping

This exchange speaks for itself. A Jerusalem Post columnist, Gershon Baskin, ignores the context of Arab  civilian deaths in Gaza.

I honestly don’t know the context, and it really doesn’t matter to me – the fact is that there are 5 children with no parents.  It is more than likely that it was an Israeli missile simply by the size of the explosion and the amount of damage.  They found the woman’s arm – that is all that was left of her.  Was she a Islamic Jihad terrorist – most definitely not.  Did she live in a building with terrorists – I don’t know.

Hi Gershon,

Can you put this Israeli missile in context?

That’s not to say that this family should not be helped.

Only that when a message goes out about civilians killed by an Israeli missile it is only proper to put it into context.

Option #1  The missile hit civilians an no one else.

Option #2. The civilians were in the same place as combatants and were killed along with combatants by the missile.

Option #2a. The civilians were in the same place as combatants and were killed along with combatants by the secondary explosion caused for explosives hit by missile.

or some other explanation.

To illustrate my point about context, lets take the example of a worker from Hebron who was wounded when the Israeli factory he works in was hit for a Palestinian rocket.

ONLY OPTION:  The civilian was hit by a rocket fired with no intention to specifically hit a military target.

Best regards,

Aaron

PLEASE HELP 5 CHILDREN ORPHANED IN THIS LAST WAR!

This is the house that Maram’s aunt was killed in two days ago in Gaza when an Israeli missile hit it. Maram is a young woman who I asked for your support to pay for her university tuition – she is studying computer science. Maram’s aunt left 5 children orphaned. Their father was killed in a bombing in 2014. The children: Sabrina Youssef 16 years old, Majd Youssef, 15 years old,Muhammad Youssef13 years old, Abdul Rahman Youssef 11 years old, and Aseel Youssef 9 years old have no parents.

I am asking you to help with some financial support. It will not replace their parents who can never be replaced. But we can offer some assistance to help get them through this horrible period.

A special fund was set up to accept your contributions.

Please help them!
