Not what I said at all.

Nobody wins here. Parading mutilated corpses and taking hostages is not 'supporting the struggle' though.

I agree that civilian death is always bad but the Palestinians have tried every course they can and they're still being choked to death, at some point violence is self defense

I totally agree, I'm not cutting Israel any slack here - their treatment of Palestine has been awful - and if they weren't so chummy with USA it'd be a different story. But parading mutilated corpses in the streets etc? There's no excuse. Whatever side you're on.
