Massacres happen in times of brutal conflict. Very true. If we're going to use that logic to explain away the massacre of Palestinian civilians by Israelis, though, shouldn't we use the the same logic to explain the massacres of Israeli civilians by Palestinians? War is an ugly and brutal thing... And that's probably something the Arabs should have thought through a bit more thoroughly, before they decided to embark on 40 years of war against Israel. The massacre under discussion happened before that war started. War is ugly and brutal, though. Perhaps that should have been considered a bit more thoroughly by the early Zionists and their British sponsors before they decided to settle a new population in a place already occupied by people who did not want the settlement to take place.
