When a UN building that stands apart and alone from any other buildings is reduced to ruble in broad daylight in a "precision" airstrike, it makes a statement -- and the statement is this -- Israel decided to blow up the UN observation building on a hilltop and kill the UN people in the building. Too bad they did it while the cameras rolled -- otherwise somebody might actually believe that it was an "accident". As for the guy who reported on other strikes (not the one that killed him), had he been observing the building from a safe distance while others from the UN were killed in a direct airstrike on the building, then I would be interested in hearing his views and I doubt he would deny Israelis intention to blow up the building as the building lay in ruins -- a burial ground for his friends. But his voice is silent, and he was murdered by Israel while at his post.
