When Palestinian terrorist organization target border checkpoints between Israel and Palestinian territory — the very checkpoints that Palestinians (20,000 a day at this particular one) have to be able to cross in order to work in Israel — then it’s kind of difficult to get too worked up about how the Palestinian Authority is going broke, and unemployment is so high in Palestinian lands. It’s also difficult in that case to blame Israel for that unemployment — though I’m sure some folks will manage to do just that.
And when terrorists recruit women for murder-suicide operations like this, counting on delays until a woman inspector can be found (to satisfy both Israeli and Palestinian propriety) to give them time to set off explosives most advantageously — it’s going to be difficult to blame Israeli soldiers and checkpoint guards if they are a bit less respectful of the dignity of women passing through the checkpoints — though I’m sure some folks will manage to do just that, too.
