...Politicians, like everyone else, are of course free to repeat the lies and mistakes of the past. But it is not mandatory to do so.

As the death toll mounts in Gaza, the thorny question is arising of who and what can be considered a legitimate military target in a territory effectively governed by a group that many in the international community consider a terrorist organisation.
