I guess no-one can stop you taking an incident that clearly has a group of Palestinians in the wrong and implying that everything going on in Israel is a consequence of that event and others like it. But what is the point?

Even if you could somehow convince everyone in the rest of the world that the Palestinians are wrong and you are right, it won't change your day-to-day life one iota. So why bother? Whether you are condemned or supported by outsiders, if you don't make peace, you will keep counting your dead. I guess it's your choice whether you think that is a reasonable price to pay for other issues you perceive to be important.

The Palestinians aren't going anywhere. You can surround them. I guess you could even expel them. But you cannot eradicate them. So until you make peace, the only thing which can change is exactly where the killing takes place.
