On the other hand, nothing the Israelis can possibly do is justified. Besides, this just shows there are no equities in the Arab-Israel conflict. Jews are throwing stone, Arabs are bombing restaurants and launching missiles at towns…see, just the sad cycle of violence that besets this war-torn land.
