So how did Israeli terrorists kill Palestinians civilians? The New York Times explains

"About half the Palestinians killed were suspected assailants who were fatally shot at the scene of attacks. Others were killed in clashes with Israeli security forces in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and along Israel’s border with Gaza."  So one half were terrorists, while "others" were killed in "clashes".  That can only mean one thing and one thing alone: that Israel is blameless.
