There is a big difference between saying you understand why something happens and condoning it.

Bingo!

Is it unreasonable to hold the western backed and supported democracy of Israel to a higher standard than an internationally recognised terrorism organisation? I'm yet to understand why Israelis continually try to compare their actions to those of a terrorist group as some sort of defense.

Again, I am not DEFENDING the Israeli’s actions, I am saying that on past performance, they were entirely predictable.

Ah, yes. I voiced my fear of the outcome on BR within days of the 7th.

What is BR?

Neither did I, but all the Bike Radar peeps came over when it shut down and given how they bang on about it have taken the loss pretty hard.

I only "bang on" about it when making a historical reference.

Indeed. There were some pretty epic threads there with lots of perceptive opinions which ex-BR people will remember (and without the constant noise of trolls and name-calling derailing every discussion). Obviously the references back there will mean nothing to NCAP folk.

You're doing your best to replicate the Brexit thread.

On a different note, Israel's refusal to release Barghouti is telling.

If we're doing morality by body count alone we all owe the Germans an apology.

but they started it!!!

I'm no historian but from a morality perspective should we be looking an innocent uninvolved civilian deaths?
