I support women and children - Period. They are always the invisible victims of war; now we see them (until censored) and people cry. But they will be forgotten amidst men's more pressing concerns - until conveniently dredged up to make some political statement. The women's and children's actual lives - and deaths - are thus reduced to talking points. Rinse and repeat.

It is inexplicable to me that this atrocity has produced both derision and even so-called ‘humour’ in some quarters, and that even the BBC has quibbled about using the word terrorists to describe Hamas. Shock and disgust just about covers it. Thank you for your reactions to the horrors and the shameful ways it has been covered and reacted to by too many of our news outlets.
