They produced this response by being given existence. It's not new.

I don't intend for it to be. This is an area with a pile of grey, I am not too naive to think this is evil vs. good with each side not sharing some of both.

I agree with you. But even when, in the past, when there have been attempts by Israeli leaders for peace there were attacks.
