The Evil of War, by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

The Israelis aim to make Gaza uninhabitable and force the Palestinians out of Israel. From Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., at lewrockwell.com:

On April I, Israel launched an attack on an annex to the Iranian embassy in Damascus. The attack killed a leading Iranian general. In retaliation, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel the following Saturday night, going into Sunday morning.
