As always, a vital point flies right past you. For about the third time, by my count.

The parents and neighbors of the Columbine shooters did not support the shootings. They did not brag how proud they were of these boys. They did not chip in to buy guns for the shooters knowing ahead of time that they would shoot up a school. They did not hide the shooters in their neighborhood and throw rocks at the cops looking for them. They did not march down the street protesting the death of the shooters, and carrying banners supporting the shooters' politics and causes. They did not curse the policemen and go out to get more guns and bombs to shoot up another school, and hide them in their houses.

The parents and neighbors of the Columbine terrorists recognized this as a horrible crime, and never pretended it was anything else. Their response was not pride, but shame.

Your analogy is a reeking flyblown load of shit, and I wish you would stop trying to pull it off.

Sure, there are Palestinians who think that terrorism is a lousy way to get what they need, and in the privacy of their homes, weep with frustration and sorrow every time a suicide bomber succeeds. We don't hear from them much, except when we see the Palestinian leadership shoot their brains out and then drag their bullet-riddled corpses down the street.

When Palestinians start having parades protesting terrorism, let me know.
