Disturbing pictures of war in in Gaza

BBC NEWS last evening showed three soldiers of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) kick and hit with their rifles a Palestinian journalist while he was on the ground. It made for disturbing viewing.

It was a far cry from the words we hear every day from IDF personnel when they are explaining how they are doing everything to avoid civilian casualties.

But so is the case in all war, wherever it is and whatever the cause.

War brutalises people.
