It is just over three years since the Israelis launched Operation
Cast Lead, their punitive attack on Gaza, the one which then Acting Prime
Minister Gillard characterised as Israel exercising its right to defend itself.
352 children were killed directly by Israeli action during
the 22 days of Operation Cast Lead. That
is not just a statistic. Every single one of those children was a living
breathing human being, of flesh and blood, with hopes, fears and dreams like
the rest of us.
They all had names, and if you click on this link here
you can find out the names and ages of every one of them, many not yet in their
teens, some as young as three months.
