T&G reader takes on terrorism

Oh those crazy T&G readers. It's almost to the point where I can't wait to read the Saturday morning Telegram and Gazette just to see this week's letters to the editors. It seems like the editor has decided that he's going to empty his desk drawer of all of the odd letters he's received during the week.

Today's gem (emphasis mine):

I find it unbelievable that people in general call Hamas, Hezbollah, the Lebanese people, the Palestinians and almost everyone who is not connected to Israel terrorists. No one seems to report nor care that Israel murders the above groups as well as children. Israel destroys their olive gardens, enters their homes in the night and shoots their teenagers to death and pretty much does just as it pleases with no one referring to Israel or its people as terrorists.

Anyone else left with this image in my head of reporter Richard Engel wearing his flak jacket kneeling in front of a smoldering Italian restaurant as he picks up an object and reports, "tragically, these bread sticks went uneaten..." followed by an interview with an Israeli spokeswoman expressing regret, but insisting that if hungry townspeople had heeded warnings and gone to Bertucci's instead, they would not have been affected.

No? It's just me?
