You keep on failing to answer the question.
I'll be optimistic about you and guess that it's because you can't answer the question without conceding the point. Of course there's a massive difference between killing children by point-blank rifle and by accident in military incursions.
Now because you seem to be concerned with the historical inevitability of it all, can you point to another case where this particular brand of terrorism was used by an occupied people? By anyone whose rights would be denied?
No. There's a subtext to the kid throwing the rock at the tank that I didn't understand before, and that is that the kid won't be there unless he knows for sure that he's not gonna get a mortar through the chest for his efforts.
The cultural disconnect, I think, is that the Palestinians see mercy and/or lack of ruthlessness as a weakness.
Do you?
