To the Editor:

   Projecting American values onto Israelis, Mr. Bronner stumbles into misinterpretation. If the guiding principle  in Gaza were to "avoid Israeli casualties at all cost" they would have followed American protocols and carpet-bombed. Instead, they went door-to-door on foot in what might be a futile attempt to sort non-uniformed combatants from civilians.
