I agree, and Israel actually got suckered on this one, imo. These folks were looking for just that type of reaction in an attempt to stir up controversy. Too bad the commandos weren't a little more prepared with nonlethal riot control force (rubber bullets, tasers, etc.) that would have avoided the martyrdom of the militant activists.
