Two wrongs don't make a right, Israel. I thought you were supposed to be the "morally superior" in this dispute. Then why aren't you playing according to the rules, even when the other guys "cheat"? In fact, why are you the ones who break the laws first, prompting the desperate Palestinians to do so as well just to try to keep up with your atrocities?
