>>Literally anything that the Palestinians do is okay by world opinion. Blow up kids? Praise suicide bombers as martyrs? Storm churches and hold priests and nuns hostage? Run bombs in ambulances? The world censures Israel.<< Nadine, you are losing it. This is simply not true. The world condemns the actions you listed. I agree that Muslims refuse to condemn suicide bombing, but the rest of the world does not condone it. I asked you before to find me examples of this type of commentary, and you haven't done so. Will you?

You might be right on all counts, though I think you might be exaggerating the negative world opinion. The opponents of Israel are probably a lot more vocal than the supporters. The Israelis should never stoop to the level of Hamas, Hizbollah, and the Al-Aqsa Brigades. Targeted assassination of known terrorists is OK, attacks on infrastructure is OK, as is anything which can legitimately be deemed self-defense. Indiscriminate slaughter is out of the question. Israel cannot stoop to the terrorists' level. It would lose any moral arguments it may have and stain its history forever.
