3. How are you supposed to react to a statement like that?

There are innocent people on both sides. There are haters and fighters on both sides.
Innocent people on both sides were killed by haters on both sides during the past few weeks. I support those working for peace. I do not support Israel or Hamas. I tend to feel more support for the Palestinians since it is they who were pushed off their land. I don't know of another people on earth who put in that situation would not want to fight back. Europeans have repeated the same crime in North America, South America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. In each case we have supported the native people.
So it should be with Palestine.
