    Hamas threw the first punch then ran to hide in the shadows.

    How else can you retaliate without blowing up everything casting a shadow?

      I feel like trying to define a ‘firat punch’ in the shit show that has been palestinian-israeli relations is a fruitless task.

      Surely a more productive avenue would be to seek common ground, shared humanity and a practical way forward among the moderates on both sides.

        It’s a very easy task for someone who wants to start the clock at a point that makes Israel look like the victim.
