Is This An Acceptable Cost to Make Up for Horrible Crimes of the Past?

I’m always amazed when people justify literally any behavior by Israel because of the history of anti-Semitism. That history is true enough. Somehow, I’m not sure it justifies contemporary murders, such as this one:

She had become a fixture at the weekly protests along the fence dividing Gaza from Israel, a young, fresh-faced woman in a white paramedic’s uniform rushing into harm’s way to help treat the wounded.

As a volunteer emergency medical worker, she said she wanted to prove that women had a role to play in the conservative society of Gaza.

“Being a medic is not only a job for a man,” Razan al-Najjar, 20, said in an interview at a Gaza protest camp last month. “It’s for women, too.”

On Friday, the 10th week of the protest campaign, an hour before dusk, she ran forward to aid a demonstrator for the last time.

Israeli soldiers fired two or three bullets from across the fence, according to a witness, hitting Ms. Najjar in the upper body. She was pronounced dead soon after.

Ms. Najjar was the 119th Palestinian killed since the protests began in March, according to Gaza health officials. Hers was the only fatality registered on Friday.

I’m sure this will be justified. Somehow and to the great moral bankruptcy of anyone doing so.
