After some thought, I remember one attack on a refugee camp that upset me a lot at the time. That was the attack on the refugee camp in Lebanon by Lebanese Christians with the assistance of the Israeli army who stood guard during the massacre and also, I think, provided assistance to the Lebanese Christians involved. I think that was sometime back in the early 1980's.
From my point of view, no terrorist action is acceptable. I don't care who is behind it and who is being attacked. When the victims retaliate against the attacks, I'm not going to criticize them for their retaliation.
