The terrible mass killing of 400 children is without precedent in modern warfare, or even in ancient conflict. I know of no army that has knowingly shot and killed hundreds of children in order to terrorize its enemy. It is an atrocity that must not be allowed to go unchallenged and the perpetrators must be brought before an international criminal court to be tried for war crimes and/or crimes against humanity. This is not a plea for revenge - which is pointless. It is because justice is essential to the whole ethos of democracy in our society. If this atrocity is accepted, then there is no future, not only for the Israeli state, but also for our own - for next time it will be 4000 children. And they will be ours
