Absolutely, the Palestinians have suffered, oppression and occupation for decades.

But drawing parallels, still - if Ukraine had slaughtered that number and pointed out that Russia had illegally occupied the Crimea, with nothing more than a bit of international tutting - I still think the international community would have been sympathetic to retaliation by Moscow.

it's an interesting idea.

but we should not forget that Israel kills many people each year in places like the west bank where there is no Hama's control. so again, we should not forget that this atack was not like 9/11 which came out of the blue. it's the result of systemic oppression.
