You say we blame the victims. Who are the victims? The victims are those who are being blown up by bombs. And then there is the response on the part of the Israelis, who have tried to protect themselves from these bombs by going after individuals who they believe are responsible.

Has it defeated Israel on the battlefield? So it is time to end this process. It is time to end the intifada.
