Excerpt:
Three days after their son was killed by a Taliban rocket attack in Afghanistan, the Sher family received a phone call.
The caller, a woman who identified herself as Sister Amirah, asked if she could send a letter offering condolences over the death of 30-year-old Private Greg Sher, who had served with the Sydney-based 1st Commando Regiment.
Numb with grief and fielding dozens of telephone calls a day, the family agreed, then thought no more of their caller.
Until the letter arrived.
"A Jewish man who kills innocent Muslim civilians is not a pig, he is a thousand times worse," the letter said.
