That's a little inconsistent with your views regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians isn't it?

Again, you're missing the point.
Regardless of what precipitated anything in this case, pressing the attack against an entity who has retreated into an area of presumed safety universally recognized as theirs gets you shot. (i.e., if Trayvon had followed Zims into has house and gets wacked? That's on him regardless of what occurred, before.) The engagement occurred
in a police cruiser. Are you trying to justify that?
Your Israel comparison is weak on two fronts:
1. Israel is the aggressor, not a victim.
2. Israel is FAR from universally recognized as rightfully possessing anything.
