death of every single person is a tragedy but you can't blame a wounded animal pushed to a corner for coming at you with everything it has Please. Another lousy analogy. This crisis doesn't have the immediacy of that "wounded animal". It has been going on for years and the Palestinians have chosen violence over a negotiated settlement. CHOSEN VIOLENCE. And today, Israel can't distinguish the hardened murderers of innocents from the children. When the Palestinians continue to complain that their children are being killed by Israel, there is but one reply: QUIT RAISING CHILDREN TO MURDER INNOCENTS. How any civilized person can align themself with this behavior is beyond me.

but you can't blame a wounded animal pushed to a corner for coming at you with everything it has. You really can't blame an animal for anything, they don't have the rational abilities that humans do, but if the wounded animal starts not just fighting back against someone who backed him in to a corner but intentionally killing innocent bystanders and shows no sign of stopping then you have to put the animal down. Fortunately the Palestinians, unlike a wounded wild animal, have the ability to be rational. Of course the fact that they have the ability to reason means that you can blame them (in this case the terrorists not anyone who happens to be Palestinian) for the intentional murder of innocent people. The fact that they can't defeat the Israeli army doesn't mean that it is just for them to attack civilians. If I am mugged by a large tough man with a gun, it doesn't justify me stabbing his sister or planting a bomb that kills 20 innocent people but doesn't (and was not particularly intended to) touch the mugger. And that argument is even assuming that "Israeli solider" equals "the mugger", which is somewhat dubious. Tim

Muzosi, so by your logic, America deserved 9/11 because the Arabs who supported it were "wounded animals pushed to a corner." And every single American who died in the falling towers deserved it because they elected leaders who helped exacerbate the situation in the Middle East. So what do you think? Does a victim of a rape (or a sympathizer) have the right to murder the rapist's innocent wife and children? Tenchusatsu
