God bless you Billy. Factually speaking, according to documented accounts it was the Israeli government that initiated the violence First and have continued the offensive violence. Factually speaking it is Palestine in the defensive position. As aborhent as the latest actions of Palestine are against Israel, according to All Humans Rights groups, the actions are still in self-defense to the Israeli government's much worse actions against Palestine. I realize this may not be what you want to hear, but it is factual. I welcome and would appreciate it if you could show Facts to the contrary here. May you be guided accordingly in God's Love, Peace, and Knowledge.
