I'm sure, given a few minutes of introspection, you will come up with something as cynically cold, uncaring and callous as you just did.
A side note: What Israel is doing to the Palestinians is morally offensive, a violation of UN resolutions - international law, and for some to sneer and ignore the suffering of a people, while insisting that those responsible for the suffering are somehow the victims, is a perverse act that will be reviled by history.
Israel should think long and hard on whether it wants to be a state recognized as a modern democracy worthy of praise or as some follower of ultra-nationalist pride: wiping out any traces of what it deigns as inferiors and outsiders.
