I very well understand your feelings withen the context of such event that we are speaking of. The reply my self so given to Pieter was in context of an unprovoked criminal act against an 85 years old women helpless by advanced age and situation as occured in France.
In the matter of this situation created and propagated by the Palestinians is a different matter that is entirely as of outcome as to be the responsibility of the individuals so involved. As my self am in this case, entirely disadvantaged in not personally a witness to the event we are speaking of, must depend upon the reports brought to us as people. For in this we are dependant upon the accuracy of the individuals observation and accurate reporting.
For this reason, for my self, was to resort to a Russian reporting of the event as most accurate with details that are usually left out.
Once again, I do understand your reaction and feelings about the matter of Palestinians and their plight. All land is owned by some one, and with their case, they lost their land that is now Israel by forces of a superior culture such as occured between the American Indians and white settlers in the early years of the United States.
Yes, my self do feel badly for the Palestinians for having some years in past knew as friends, some Palestinian families. They were working people and good people, I did enjoy our mutual friendship at that time and still hold a great respect for them. I do not form an opinion of who is correct or right between Those Palestinians and members of the IDF and related actions, for this is between those two factions to determine their own issues. What I am saying, is my self am not an activist for I have no right to think or believe as being.
My reasoning of reply is simply to differenciate between my reply to Pieter and the information you have very rightly so, presented to Pieter and my self.

The Israeli authorities said earlier in the day that they would step up response if clashes on the Israeli-Palestinian border continue.
According to Palestinian WAFA news agency, six Palestinians were injured on Saturday in clashes with Israeli forces on the west side of the Gaza Strip.
The agency noted that three of them had been shot during clashes with the Israeli police near the town of Khan Yunis, while other three had been injured near a tent camp in the western Gaza.
Meanwhile, several hundred of protesters were affected by tear gas that has been used by the police to disperse the protesters. Hamas movement, in its turn, has stated that among 15 Palestinians, who have died during one-day-long clashes, five belong to the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which is Hamas's military wing.
"We state that five fighters of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades were among 15 Palestinians killed yesterday in the clashes with the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip," the Hamas statement obtained by Sputnik said.
The event dubbed "The Great Return March," which started the day before, is dedicated to the so-called Land Day, commemorating the day in 1976, when Israeli troops killed six Arabs protesting against confiscation of land.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas stated that Israel was responsible for the violence, having declared March 31 a national day of mourning, while Israel blamed the brutal protests on Hamas, saying, “the IDF would not allow the security fence to be turned into an area of terror.”

The protest sets an objective to attract attention to the problem of people, who have become refugees because of Nakba, as well as of their descendants. The event has been organized by such groups as the Hamas movement, the Fatah party, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine among others.
