That is such a dumb statement. Religion and politics, as is so often the case, is the real problem going on here. First off Benjamin Netanyahu is on trial for corruption right now and nothing rallies people around their leader more than being at war - Israel does need to figure out how to defend itself without the military being used as a convenient tool for political distraction. This latest charade was purposely targeted at the end of Ramadan to cause maximum disruption and it is easy to see why when the Israeli Prime Minister was about to face a jury who could send him to jail in days. However I don't think that every Israeli is responsible to the actions of their leader, just as Palestinians often will not support what Hamas and Fatah do in their name. This escalated unnecessarily because of some petty disagreements surrounding "sacred places". Each side has done wrong, we can only hope innocent deaths and unnecessary destruction are avoided by military leaders.
