Why blame the Palestinians?

At least, that's what an United Nations official thinks.

Jerusalem Newswire: UN envoy: It's all the Jews' fault---

Almost completely disregarding Palestinian Arab aggression against Israel's Jews, a United Nations envoy has sought to lay the blame for regional conflict at the doorstep of the Jewish state by misrepresenting and exaggerating Israel's defensive measures and isolated acts of frustration.

In a special report prepared for next week's annual meeting of the UN Human Rights Commission, South African lawyer John Dugard charged:

"It seems that settlers are able to terrorize Palestinians and destroy their trees and crops with impunity."

What he failed to mention, however, are the innumerable stoning, shooting and bombing attacks carried out against the Jewish settlers by the hostile Arab population surrounding them. Often those attacks are launched from the cover of olive groves and fruit orchards, prompting frustrated and threatened Israelis to take matters into their own hands.

Typical of the UN (and also typical of the Left) to blame Israel (or the US or Britain) for the violence of the Muslim Arabs. Read the rest of the article here.

What should the Israelis do? Allow the Palestinians to continue attacking them, without responding?
