CNN's Mathew Chance's ... rationalization of 'Palestinian' Rampage

So we all know by now, after what super kind eager for peace Israel gave the Arab 'Palestinians' a gift of land...
What was the very next thing? They "celebrated" (well, let's not forget the CNN-UNDER-REPORTED failed attempt by a 'Palestinian' Homicide Bomber in Beer Sheva...) by chaos, destruction and looting.

So (the long time) Anti Israel "reporter" Mathew Chance finds himself in a real dilemma, How can he report it without being harmed by the Totalitarian "freedom loving" 'Palestinian' leadership (Remember what they did to that Italian journalist that dared to report the 'Palestinian' police and masses lynching the 2 Israeli that HAPPENED to be in Ramallah)?

So first what Mathew Chance does is play it down, as a "minor" incident. But more destructive is his new FOUND EXCUSE, he finally "has" it, he got the COVER for the heinous 'Palestinian' violence, even the 'Palestinian' Arabs themselves didn't come up with such a harsh invention, he called the synagogues, a 'Symbol of the "occupation" for the Palestinians'...

Today (Sept/14/05) at CNN's "insight" program, the anchor Rosemary Church (usually more or less fair) has asked Mathew Chance about 'Palestinian' burning down the synagogues and the greenhouses that were provided by American donation to help their economy...

Mathew Chance:
'They ('Palestinians') wanted to vent out their frustration at the synagogues that are a symbol of the "occupation" for them'...

Wow!!!
1) Does Mathew Chance know that the most ultra-religious Jews (since we are talking about the "symbolism") don't even serve in Israeli army? 2) Is it OK to identify EVERY SINGLE Mosque as the symbol of terror? 3) How "symbolic-of-terror" was the destroyed greenhouses that were for their own good?

When will you Mathew Chance and other biased reporters get it? When will you get it that DESTRUCTION especially SELF-DESTRUCTION is what 'Palestinian' cult (until they'll change) is all about?
