when I saw that the freely distributed issue of the International
Herald Tribune/The Daily Star, were left abandoned on the
tables. Who is to be blame

Saifedean Ammous
October
17, 1953: The elite Israeli Òanti-terrorÓ 101 brigade, under
the command of young Ariel Sharon, enters the Palestinian
village of Qibya. They demolish tens of houses and kill
99 civilians. The 101 Brigade was formed upon a request
from then Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, who handpicked
the young Ariel Sharon to lead it in its Ònon-ending fight
against terror.Ó The analogy to the events of today is a
