While the moral responsibility lies with those who perpetrated the crime, it is interesting to note the the conditions which led to this were, ironically, fostered in large part by the 'religious right' in this country which has done so much to support the far-right in Israel. It's sad that the Church in the holy land is having to pay the price for the co-religionists political irresponsibility since so many Bishops and Priests in the area have been a strong moral force in criticizing the Israeli right and their policies in the occupies territories (such as the illegal settlements mentioned in the article)
