Suppose the Palestinians had by now herded Israelis into a tiny ghetto, walled them in and proceeded to bomb them, their power stations, schools, hospitals, etc., killing as many women, children and elderly as potential male fighters in the process. This being done on the premise of self defence against attacks from the ghetto, would those who currently support Israel in their "cause", or at least silently stand by and tolerate Palestinian actions ? Hamas are no angels but Israel's conduct is so one-sided as to be inexcusable.
Incidentally, to me Putin's response, when the first accusations against Ukranian separatists over the aircraft being shot down surfaced, was to say that it was the fault of those who attacked the separatists. Israel's justification is that they have been attacked (with largely improvised munitions) - was Putin indirectly acknowledging that the separatists actually had shot down the aircraft (in self defence) ?
