Speaking of such fuck you's, this from today's NYT, not known for its hostility to Israel (though the syntax - "missiles hit" - does try to soften the blow) <http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/31/world/middleeast/ 31scene.html?_r=1&oref=slogin>:

"Dozens, including 21 refugees in the back of a pickup truck on July 15, have been killed by Israeli strikes while trying to evacuate. Missiles hit two Red Cross ambulances last weekend, wounding six people and punching a circle in the center of the cross on one’s roof. A rocket hit the ambulance convoy that responded in Qana on Sunday."
