Jim, no-one would defend mass murder.
I am not a monster and neither is Bobad or BB. We just put israel's side of the story as you put the Palestinian case. That needs to happen.

I am as horrified as you by the scenes shown yesterday. We only differ in who we think are mostly to blame for what happened.

I mostly blame those who drove or persuaded people into that killing ground. Have the demonstrations a couple of hundred yards from the fence and no-one would come to harm.

Notice there were no supportive demonstrations in other Muslim or Arab nations as we always used to see.
Notice that the West Bank Palestinians have not supported the Friday demos. of recent weeks. Also they are withhloding pay from Gazan civil servants.
Hamas is fast becoming a lost cause in the Muslim Arab world.
Many Arab states now see Iran as the main geo-political threat to the region and are seeing alliance with Israel as the future.
