How about the present prime minister, Arik Sharon, when he led the notorious Unit 101 of the Hagannah, massacring Arab villagers? Much more recently, his own people were disgusted at what he allowed to happen in Sabra and Shatilla.
By all means attempt to justify why Israel acts as it does in purely pragmatic terms, but don't adopt a high moral tone or try to bury everyone in emotive rhetoric about murders and bloody hands.

First off, it was the Hagana who blew up the David Hotel. But they called ahead to warn the british about the bombing. The brits didnt believe it , and unfortunately many people got hurt. Since then they stopped diversy altogether.
Ofcourse there are those Israelis who want to see all palestinians dead, but for the most part, thats all just talk on their part. Give them a gun and a palestinian, they will not pull the trigger. On the other hand, the average palestinian kid will not hesitate and shoot an israeli ... fact, not speculation
