It appears you've developed a set of talking points after the all too common Palestinian terror attack, and dare not deviate from message. Discussing the families that routinely openly support terror organizations and know about and support the attacks by family members, or the open lionization and financial compensation offered to these "martyrs" using foreign aid by the "legitimate" government of the PA (when are those elections?) have disturbing implications that make it difficult to blame the Israelis every time a Palestinian so much as stubs a toe or might justify retaliatory measures.

I have no doubt you do not approve of attacks like the one on Sunday, but I'm not sure you actually blame the Palestinians who planned and executed it, excusing everything due to the "occupation," and similarly doubt you would approve of any Israeli retaliatory or security measures even in Abbas himself was caught on video ordering an attack.
