The kidnapping and slaughter of civilians, and the celebration of vicious murder by armed fighters, recalls the worst dimensions of human violence. The war that Hamas unleashed this morning will be devastating. It already is. Although those last sentences now seem prescient, little did I know that the next year would see a barbaric war in Gaza that would take the lives of more than 40,000 people and destroy the infrastructure of the coastal strip. Hamas has been successful in unleashing the powers of the Israeli military, an army that was profoundly shocked by its own failures on the 7 th and now is forever tainted by the civilian deaths it claims are unavoidable. Hamas, with its total disregard for Palestinian suffering, seems content to continue to invite savage bombings and rocket attacks. The fact that fighters are hiding in hospitals and schools in no way excuses the killing of children and their doctors, of teachers and kids who want to learn.

While some may fall into this category, those in Grout's A Short History of Opera do not. Charlton quotes Grout out of context. One might also question why Charlton quotes from the second (1965) rather than the third (1988) edition of the opera book. Although the quoted passages are in both editions, they occur in separate sections of the 1988 edition.
