This whole article is good, but this line stuck out.
The American health care workers know their audience. They announce that their testimony will focus on women and children. To a bomb, a body is a body; sex and age make little difference against the weight of a collapsing home. To the West, the Arab man and male teenager are killable; the doctors’ reticence to mention them reflects an accommodation of this narrowing of the human. The right to life of Palestinian women and children is less contestable in words—though it is denied every day by deeds.
Not the main point, but one that continuously bothers me.
