Imagine how this page would have looked if, God forbid, 12 children had been killed yesterday in the rocket attack on a Sderot kindergarten instead of “just” being sent to Ashkelon’s Barzilai Hospital and treated for shock.
Our main story would likely have read something like this: “IAF warplanes and helicopters pounded Gaza from the air Monday, warships fired artillery from the sea, and three tank battalions rolled into the Strip at various points after an Islamic Jihad rocket attack on a Sderot kindergarten left 12 Israeli toddlers dead. The government declared total war on the Hamas movement in Gaza, including its political leadership, and vowed to grant the IDF all the time it deemed necessary to get the job done.
