Steve, you can trust me, this is not banter about Mr. Trump. Unfortunately, this is very dark stuff. I have seen videos. But the long video edited out of the bodycams of terrorists has not been made publicly available. I would not have watched it anyway. Some journalists have watched it and remained shocked.

Now, narratives describing it as a legitimate resistance action, they belong to the darkest and wrongest sphere of thought. Resistance, as I said above, is legitimate when military people and structure are targeted.

During those facts, there has been deliberate targeting of civilians to inflict terror, pain and humiliation and to take hostages. Also, among the targets there have been people who were publicly sympathetic with the Palestinian cause.
