The Sun recently shed light ("3 youths among 8 dead in Israeli reprisal strikes," March 23) on the tragedy and consequences of war. However, I find it appalling that the previous week an Israeli family with "3 youths" including a 3-month-old infant were stabbed to death in their sleep.

The 3-month-old was decapitated. In Gaza, Arabs celebrated by giving candy to their children. Somehow, your newspaper must have missed this atrocity as I didn't see any photos of the funeral attended by 20,000 mourners in Israel including the remaining 12-, 8- and 2-year-old distraught orphans.
