When you describe a group of people as a rabid dog and when you describe mass murderers as having more of a good reason for it, you need to stop and rethink your entire view. Something in your reasoning is just morally broken.
There are plenty of good people. There are plenty of non-combatants in both Palestine and Israel who really wish the violence could end tomorrow, and they really wouldn't follow it up with other attacks. You know how I know? Because there's people like that in every country in the world. Of course some people are way into violence, but many other people just want to live their lives. And we all agree that it's difficult to make that happen.
You wrote that in Palestinian culture many people would happily sacrifice their own life just to kill some Israelis. Surely that's true for some people. But which is worse, sacrificing your own life to take out an enemy, or sacrificing your friend's life to take out an enemy? They're both pretty horrible, and I see no need to go into any further analysis, except to remark that this is where your reasoning leads.
I feel you showed great restraint by not putting reason in inverted commas there.
