Mr. Murphy seemed to think that it was not big matter to live under the constant threat of Gaza rocket fire. He wrote "Israeli spokesmen say more than 750 rockets fired from Gaza have hit southern Israel this year. The rockets sow real and deep terror in Israeli communities. But that's about all they can do. The vast majority of the rockets from Gaza are like C-minus high school science fair projects, carry limited amounts of explosive, and are impossible to aim. For all that rocket fire, not a single Israeli has been killed by one this year."
Not only is this notion offensive, it was wrong. Three people did die less than 12 hours after he so arrogantly wrote this statement.
We the undersigned ask that the Christian Science Monitor (CSM) and Mr. Dan Murphy issue and apology for writing and insensitive article that belittles the real terror that is to live under the constant threat of indiscriminate rocketfire.
His words were directly contradicted less than a day later when rocketfire killed three citizens in Israel.
We hope that the CSM will in the future carefully review the words of their journalists as to not demonstrate an insensitive attitude towards human life.
