More From Farley Mowat

Literature was not born the day when a boy crying "wolf, wolf" came running out of the neanderthal valley with a big gray wolf at his heels; literature was born on the day when a boy came crying "wolf, wolf" and there was no wolf behind him.

We breed dogs to be more social than the wolf. there is very interesting research that has been done with a wolf and a domestic dog. if you have a tamed wolf and you have him sit in front of the experimenter or stand in front of his master and his two dishes, one to the right, one to the left – so that the dog or wolf see the food put in the left hand dish but the owner points to the right – the domesticated will go where owner points, whereas the the wolf goes right where he saw the meat thing put. in other words, in a dog social cue from a master can override where he saw the being placed.

If i have to reduce all of the laws of war into a single sentence, it is this. you divide the world into two, combatants and noncombatants. you can attack deliberately combatants, but not deliberately noncombatants. israel acts that way. it attacks combatants and accidentally kills noncombatants. but in the case of the terrorists, it's the exact opposite. they deliberately attack combatants - noncombatants, civilians, deliberately.
