Even those who aren't particularly sympathetic to Bibi

Netanyahu could get a good measure of satisfaction from his

interview with the British Television Tuesday morning. I

guess it can be attributed to his days studying history at

Harvard.



The interviewer asked him: "How come so many more Lebanese

have been killed in this conflict than Israelis?" (A nasty

question if there ever was one!)



Netanyahu: "Are you sure that you want to start asking in

that direction?"



Interviewer: (Falling into the trap) Why not?



Netanyahu: "Because in World War II more Germans were killed

than British and Americans combined, but there is no doubt

in anyone's mind that the war was caused by Germany's

aggression. And in response to the German blitz on London,

the British wiped out the entire city of Dresden, burning to

death more German civilians than the number of people killed

in Hiroshima.



Moreover, I could remind you that in 1944, when the R.A.F.

tried to bomb the Gestapo Headquarters in Copenhagen, some

of the bombs missed their target and fell on a Danish

children's hospital, killing 83 little children. Perhaps you

have another question.
