Action should be taken to prevent anybody doing anything like this again, to Israelis or anybody else, but that doesn’t mean Israel somehow got moral. Promoting that would be exploiting events for propaganda.
Absolutely agreed. Israel is justified in some measure of response, to prevent future attacks and rescue hostages. They are not justified in the bombing of Gaza that they've been doing instead.
The point I was making though is that using Shani Louk as some kind of figurehead is in no way disingenuous. It's somewhat unfair that Palestine doesn't have similar figureheads of their own to garner support (and indeed this is a direct result of Israel blocking media access), but that doesn't mean that what happened to Shani isn't a valid symbol of everything that was wrong with the attack on Saturday.
