The opposite is scarcely the case, and when supplied with an opportunity to legitimize any grievance of the Palestinian cause, blankall felt attacked and needed to defend the state by telling us how good things were because they set up field hospitals for the civilians they've killed and injured.
Undercover brother pointed it out already, grievances of Israeli policy can't be legitimized unless you provide euqual airtime to all the good they do (which is a load of patronizing hooey).
The critics of Israeli policy in this thread routinely acknowledge the issues Israel has with Palestinian resistance/independence movement, but the supporters of Israel are generally as seen in blqnkalls post, unable to legitimize anything regarding the state of the occupied territories.
It is an absurdity that underlies the morally and mentally tenuous justification for this continued occupation.
Can't let anything slip through the cracks, gotta be a stone wall, can't show any weakness. Can't entertain the idea that thinks are not resolutely and resoundingly just; that the Palestinian people brought this upon themselves and Israel is an unfortunate bystander in all of this, beyond reproach, having never made a miss step.
It is really, really sad to see the lengths people will go to absolve abhorrent behaviour.

Again though, in this exact post you are claiming the same thing. Put Palestinians in for Israelis and call it a Blankall post and is the same.
Point to Israel's disgusting casual attitude and all you get is "what are you supposed to do? Israel is a democratic state and Hamas are terrorists.
Point to Hamas' terrorist actions and their casual attitude towards their own people lives and all you get it is "what else can they do? Israel has been continually dressing this people and selling on their land despite promises not to"
That's the nature of this entire conflict. Two monstrous organizations putting the value of Palestinian lives below that of cockroaches. One side ensuring the casualties to grow their power and the other dismissing their lives as simple collateral damage. Both sides in this debate claiming the other started it. Who gives a #### who started it? How does the death of a single two year old child pay for either side of this conflict?
Your arguing that those claiming the Palestinian people have a legitimate grievance, but those on the side of Israel do not accept it, as an answer to a post about how Israel had a legitimate grievance. Don't you see the hypocrisy there?
