    The way we talk doesn’t lend itself well to making geopolitical statements vs valuation statements. Did Israel’s government create the circumstances that led to this – yes, geopolitically speaking. But in terms of making a value statement, I lay the full blame at the actual murderers’ feet.

    Obviously not every Palestinian murders civilians. Nothing can justify that. The terrorists are still bad people and squarely to blame, Israel’s actions just pointed them in a direction.
