Skeptical reserve on both your houses.
Look at what I said in post #42. It explains where I stand.
Obviously the police and the consulate were working hand-in-hand and the police, the Palestinian witnesses and the US consulate all agree on what transpired.
There needs to be respect for the police and the US Consulate working together on this. It was unacceptable for those Ferguson protesters who threw objects and vandalized buildings to do what they did. And this behavior by these Israeli’s in also unacceptable. And the defense that some posit that “The y shouldn’t have been there in the first place” would not fly in the US among law enforcement as a reason for them to try and stone them.
I certainly don’t think that anyone on one side should have an attitude of “Kneel before Zod,” but you can’t try to stone others, either - and that goes for Palestinians and Israeli’s.
