   @rst @cstross The way it works in Poland is Palestinians are foreigners, so it's someone else's problem, but one of those aid workers was Polish, so it's our problem now, and there's an uproar.

   It could actually cause people to care about Palestinian civilians more, but we're going to have to wait and see.

   (the fact that it's the last week of the local elections campaign isn't helping)

     @cstross Netanyahu's been doing a lot of that lately. Funny how the deaths of foreign aid workers are a major scandal, but targeted hits on Palestinian doctors, scholars, and journalists have been universally shrugged off.

     *Looks at murder of aid workers in Gaza*

     *Checks principles*

     "Axiom: Killing civilians is always wrong. (Doesn't matter why, or who: no exceptions, it's always wrong.)"

     Fuck Netanyahu. (The end.)
