I do not agree with the Settlers and their methods. However, this wave of Hamas/PIJ terror is appalling. There are lives at stake because of their extremism and Hamas or PIJ don’t make their intent towards Jews a secret. Nor do they value Palestinians that much. They’re happy to have them tortured and killed when it suits.
The Russians brutalised and destroyed Chechnya in the early 00s. Grozny, in particular, was a shell after Russian attacks and oppression of Chechens. These actions did not excuse the Chechen terrorist massacre at Beslan in 2003. Similarly this current Islamist action is inexcusable.
