It’s very controversial, but these days controversy is what we need. Here’s an excerpt:

“So what has happened to Jewish morality? What has happened to the descendants of the prophets, the progeny of those who have laid the foundations of our commonly held concepts of justice? What has happened — more to the point — to the sons and daughters of Holocaust survivors?”

Also, be sure to read this interesting article from the NY Times. An excerpt:

The agreements that govern Israel’s use of American cluster munitions go back to the 1970’s, when the first sales of the weapons occurred, but the details of them have never been publicly confirmed. The first one was signed in 1976 and later reaffirmed in 1978 after an Israeli incursion into Lebanon. News accounts over the years have said that they require that the munitions be used only against organized Arab armies and clearly defined military targets under conditions similar to the Arab-Israeli wars of 1967 and 1973.

A Congressional investigation after Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon found that Israel had used the weapons against civilian areas in violation of the agreements. In response, the Reagan administration imposed a six-year ban on further sales of cluster weapons to Israel.
