We have a twisted notion in the west that somehow if yo are the weaker party, you must be in the right, or can do no wrong, or "what do you expect them to do?" The same question can be flipped on it's head. If you are Isreal and looking out of your home in any direction you see hatred and hostility, what do you expect them to do? Generations of indoctrinated hatred have led us here. You cannot go back and change it, you can only go forward.
