"Israel's case IS that there were no murders."
This gets more and more bizzare - if you had been caught wearing a striped jumper and a mask and climbing out of a window carrying a bag marked "swag" wouldn't you say you didn't do it?
I'm quite sure that if Jack the Ripper had been caught he would have said something similar
The world's case is that there have been murders and Israel dunnem
OF COURSE THEY HAVE CLAIMED INNOCENCE - WOULDN'T YOU?????
"Do you condone the missiles, yes or no?"
No I do not - as I said, I believe they are inevitable given the aggression of the Israelis
"Are they justified, yes or no?"
How can they be either justified or unjustified by anybody - justice does not come into the matter if it is inevitable. They are the inevitable consequences of a small poorly armed people retaliating against the armed aggression and persecution of the Palestinians - if there is any blame to be levelled, the Israelis must take the lion's share of it because it is they who are the aggressors..
You have consistently defended, directly, by your denials or by your silence:
the massacres of refugees, the use of horrendous weapons in built up areas, the shelling of hospitals and schools, the killing of what you describe as "hostages", the attempts to starve an impoverished population into submission, the building of a wall to partition a people off from foods and means of livelihood, the killing of aid bringers, the eviction of householders in order to make use of their land, the mass movement of whole families next to a poisonous rubbish dump, the confiscation off taxes necessary for the running of a city, the everyday persecution and humiliation of ordinary citizens going about their business.....
which of these actions would you describe as "justified" - if any
