Then you
Sir are naive, expecting the best from people. The post from the BBC points to a institutional mentality which to me address the failure of the French as a whole. This is not the work of individuals as pointed out in your post. You did include the punishment, not harsh enough IMHO, doled out to the guilty parties, what do you think the French government is going to do about this.
BTW feel free to start a post “Those F’ing Americans” along with “Those F’ing Jews”.
Let me help you get the ball rolling with
Those F’ing Jews”

Thousands of angry Palestinians have taken to the streets of the al-Bureij refugee camp in the Gaza Strip to bury 10 people killed in overnight fighting with Israeli troops.
Mourners, some wearing masks, followed the bodies of those killed through the narrow streets of the camp chanting "revenge, revenge". We are committed to the continuation of jihad and martyr operations until our land is liberated," members of the militant group Hamas shouted through loudspeakers. There is ongoing controversy about the identity of the victims. An initial account by a United Nations official in the camp - that eight were unarmed civilians, including two who worked for the UN - has now been contradicted by a more senior UN spokesman who told the BBC that no conclusions about the victims' identities had yet been reached
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan condemned the killings and urged the Israeli army to exercise greater restraint.
Israel says at least five of those killed were members of Hamas and the group itself has issued a statement saying six of its people died in the raid, including two from its military wing.
The camp's Mayor, Kamal Baghdadi and an official from a nearby hospital, Ahmed Rabah, have said they believe four of the dead were from the Mansour family, whose home they say was hit in the raid.
Snip….
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat described the incursion as "Israeli terrorism".
"It is a new massacre," he said. "What happened is a continuation of the massacres against the Palestinian people."
"This is Israeli terrorism against our children, our women and our holy shrines from Rafah [in southern Gaza] to Jenin [in the West Bank]. Isn't what they are doing daily terrorism?"
Israel regularly sends troops into the Gaza Strip to seek out Palestinian militants it blames for suicide attacks that have killed scores of Israelis since the Palestinian uprising began.
Tit for tat. An eye for an eye. Israel killing innocent civilians ala Hamas and Fatah and that hypocrite scumbag Arafat cries about the deaths of innocent.
