Palestinians have been occupied, murdered and denied their rights for decades. To call the events of today “unprovoked” is outrageous.
Sorry, but are we talking about those people who lived in Palestine before folks showed up with a plan to create a Jewish State?
Because those people were removed from their homes through bribery, promises (subsequently broken), and outright acts of terrorism, and Israel gained statehood because the world (UN) was ashamed of their failures to protect Jews from attempted genocide during WWII (plus all the prior pogroms).
But two wrongs can never make a right.
