Three, those who simply hate Israel and want it eliminated off of the face of the earth.
I think most people involved with running the blockade fit into categories one and two. However, and I don't know what portion, there are some in category three. Category three is the problem. Category three is the reason there was violence.
Given an old, passive, toothless dog, if you trigger the survival response (SR), violent action will result. Worse, if you have young, testosterone loaded males, with guns, trained to kill and SR's are triggered, people will die and get hurt.
Reasonable people have to consider this question - Are my odds of avoiding death and the death of others increased or decreased by triggering the SR's or heightening the SR's in those being confronted?
Who lead these people?
What was their intent? Goal?
What did they think would happen?
Were they actually surprised by the result?
I can understand young and naive people getting caught up in the moment and doing unwise things, but I can not understand those who would lead others into this without clearly explaining the risks. If the risks were known, the innocent are not so innocent. If the risks were not known, I don't know what to say about that, but they know now.
