Dear Editor:

I am disappointed by your coverage of Israel's bombing of a Palestinian neighborhood in Gaza. The attack by a US-supplied F-16 fighter jet killed 15 people, injured more than 140 and flattened half a city block. You called the bombing a "sharp Israeli response" instead of what it really was, terrorism. Israel deliberately targeted civilian homes and killed infants and children asleep in their beds. Is this not terrorism? Or do you have a policy of only calling Palestinians terrorists?

Sincerely,

Tim Bishopric
