'Reject' my criticisms till you're blue in the face (they're not 'my' criticisms, in fact, but those of individuals... journalists, lawyers, human rights advocates, whom I profoundly respect and defer to in the context of on-point astute critics of Israel's depraved assault on the citizenry of Gaza). You're a word smith, but you're not the voice of clarity that you purport to be. Being self-critical about this, it won't hurt you. It'll better your journalism. In vital ways.
