Middle East Conflict

Where did I say that?
When you said the people who were to blame were those who commited the atrocities, following as it did from you repeatedly dodging the question as to whether the Israeli authorities had contributed to what happened. You were perfectly at liberty to say that they had, but declined to.

I tell you what, I’ll ask it again: do you think the failures in Israeli security were a contributory factor in the atrocities? And if so, do they bear any responsibility?

I think the fact that you quickly changed the word 'literally' to 'essentially' tells me you realised you mis-read my posts and had put your own interpretation to them. No problem. Have a good night.

There is surely a distinction between the two? The terrorists are to blame for the atrocity itself because they are the ones who carried out the act.

The Israeli security services have a responsibility for protecting their citizens and they failed in that responsibility. They aren’t to blame for the act itself explicitly.

Yes, I think that’s a completely fair distinction.
