What has this to do with me -- or is there another Dan?

More data, please.

Are you operating under the misconception that I'm a die-hard Palestinian fan? My life would be much easier, and the world would be a much better place, if both Israel and Palestine closed up shop, to be swallowed up by the Middle East, and had a huge yard sale.

Perhaps you’re trying to equate this event as somehow having the ability to change moral perception -- that killing all Palestinians should now be considered a just cause? Or should we target just those who smile at another’s misery, but particularly if it’s a Westerner’s misery?

I recall an article quoting a Palestinian refugee as whining that what Israel is doing is genocide without bodies, because so many have been forced to leave their homeland. At best, a ludicrous piece. Rather than try to change their faulty government, they choose to run away and give the lost homeland to their criminal leaders.

I also recall that, while Israel publicly regrets the civilian casualties inflicted during its attack on Shehadeh’s home, at the same time they say they would do it again -- so maybe NYPD should start shooting through hostages...? There is a sick leadership in Israel, doubtless brought about by too much political gaming, and living in a constant state of homeland-war.

Or is your innocuous little question meant to go deeper -- to a place I cannot yet, or am admittedly having difficulty trying to, imagine?

As it now stands, I happen to hate them both Israel and Palestine, and I don’t mind pointing that out -- often.
