Add to that the recent reports that multiple victims were shot in the head several times at close range, and the whole thing becomes even more outrageous. One of the bodies released to Turkey, for example, had 1 shot to the chest and 4 to the head at close range.

Kitchen knives as in butter knives or kitchen knives as in steak knives? I honestly don't know. I've heard reports that some Israeli troops were shot (with guns that were taken from them.) We will never be able to piece together who did what first but the violence definitely escalated where one could reasonably assume that their lives were in danger (on both sides.)
It's an event that never should have happened, but once it starts, I'm assuming you'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6, like me?
