Does this mean he wants the "destruction of israel"?

Is he the only one who is "double faced"?
I read this yesterday on the BBC:
http://news6.thdo.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/middle%5Feast/newsid%
5F985000/985175.stm
If the Israeli did not react in such a violent manner the rioting would have
stopped days ago. For now, I think, it is the goal of the rioters to have the
Israelis over react. That is pretty clear to me. The way that Israel is trying
to confine/suppress this is not the only way it can be done. I’d like to see
them using traditional crowd control measures much much more to calm things
down – tear gas etc. Using live ammunition, tanks and gunships is over the
top. I do not think that the land is worth lives that are being lost in both
sides. Does anyone outside the region?
If Israel is whiter that white on this, why will they not accept an
independent assessment of the whole situation rather that pushing for some
sort of fudged compromise?
