1. Area where scene took place: 'Kiryat Abba' illegal settlement, which is form of colonization in God's name, displacing the locals and reducing Palestinian land acre by acre. All the 'settlers' there, did not actually 'settle' with consent. The Israeli army used violence to evict locals, and threatens to kill them if they object or actively prevent construction of settlements. And all these settlers are illegal residents without permission of the state authority in the West Bank, only with permission of foreign occupying force.
2. We have to point out that it is a 'settlement', as it has everything to do with it. Palestinians are entitled to the right to evict illegal settlers and resist the occupying forces. Does not matter with knife, gun, or banana. Now what happened here is suspect attacked nearest settlers, first one being a 31 year old man:

He should have stuck to that and not targeted younger girl, Palestinians don't support that. We support evicting them without killing them, or making them citizens of a Palestinian state. We also don't share Israeli methodology of killing children under premise of 'fighting terrorism', which is the story we are given every incident in the occupied West Bank where a Palestinian 13 or 12 year old girl is shot dead. Even though there should be no reason she should be at risk in her own territory. That's what is morally reprehensible. As for armed illegal settler religious fundamentalists, all there males 18 above are military targets, and every sane and reasonable person agrees with that. No one would accept a foreign invasion without local consent. If Arabs occupied parts of Europe by conquest, and transferred millions of civilians there without European locals consent, then that would be an occupation which would be violently resisted by the local European peoples. And that should be no different in the case of the Palestinians. Unless you're hypocritical of course, and if you're hypocritical, you're a non-subject that is respected only by like minded people.
3. These 'innocent' 'settlers' are dangerous, religious, bigots who believe they're entitled to Palestinian land as described in post 1 and 2. And they were the same people who murdered a Palestinian boy, forced him to drink gasoline and burned him alive afterwards:

4. Troll OP is disappointed that Hamas was broken by the decade old siege, nor was it's popularity declined. And hence tries to tie everything to Hamas. Even though it was individual in West Bank. We saw Hamas's conduct during the Israeli offensive on Gaza, it targeted Israeli forces/outposts on the border and released footage of that. It's a much moral arm than anything in Israel.
5. Not sure what 'PA media' OP is referencing either.
6. The sensible solution at this point is to evict all illegal colonies and formulate two state solution. If anybody here objects to that, then they aren't in favor of peace, and are directly contributing to more violence in the region.
Guys Calm the hell down.
No matter how many people israel has bombed it gives no one the right to stab children. Never
On the other hand If this was an Israeli military personnel i could agree with the hate comments but fing people this was a kid grow the f up.
Israel will meet its end soon but please don't sink to there levels.
Nobody here is happy about what happened, on contrary, pro-Israel crowd cheers in excitement when children are executed in Palestinian territory by armed 'settlers' or Israeli forces. And they claim it was 'defense against terrorism'. You can't reason with people who have monopoly on murder and justify it. Even when Israeli forces are targeted in West Bank(which is totally legal right and method of resistance), they will use certain terminology to demonize those who took such measures. Which shows they don't see a reason to hold a moral and fair position that will contribute to peace.
They also believe they're entitled to local inhabitant's land, by forceful means. You can't negotiate or reason with people coming to your land, evicting you because 'God chose them rather than the non-Jewish gentiles', and that he gives them right to this land. Of course this 'God', who doesn't exist, is their own imagination, and the only 'supernatural force' here working, is the military/terrorist strategy.
Israel's occupation will meet its end, because there are enough sensible people in the world, including Israeli's, that don't believe such a thing is sustainable. Not because Muslims claim so, actually I hate it when Muslims make such claims. You guys have never offered any serious support or help, all Muslims do is try to exercise ownership over Palestinian cause. When they don't do anything for it. And I don't appreciate that 'exclusivity' approach by some Muslims. Because it projects notion that Palestinian cause is an Islamic one, which isn't true. Anybody, of any background, including Christians can support this cause. It's a universal cause. That's how I as an Palestinian atheist views it too.
And don't get me wrong, I have no problem when Muslim individuals support Palestinian cause because of their moral standards. My only problem is when large Muslim groups, or leagues or unions, etc..., try to exercise exclusivity over the cause, as if they dictate the direction the Palestinian society will head, and also the aftermath of an Palestinian state. Which is also something I object to.
We decide where our people head, and our state is formed. It will not part of Arab league nor Islamic cooperation council, nor extension of Iran, or anything else for that matter. As I am not satisfied with the principles of these groups, who are still hypocritical, lack morals, and use religion as tool in their political agenda. I'd prefer a Palestinian state to be a secular one, with ties US, China, Russia, Latin America, certain nations in EU, etc....
