There is an internationally recognized border. Well if the bordering countries don't agree, it doesn't really matter what the rest of the world thinks that much. I'm not sure that Israel's "internationally recognized borders" (from what, the 1948 partition??) have been meaningful for 50 years. Also terrorism is not defined by borders. If Hezbollah only attacked the Israeli military (in Israel or in Lebanon while Israel was there) they would be guerilla warfare more than it is terrorism. I agree, and if the Israeli army didn't kill any Palestinian civilians and bulldoze Palestinian houses, they also would not be viewed as a terrorist army. But they do. I'm also not sure if it is fair to put Israeli civilians in "occupied" territory and call them civilians. The ISraeli government bears major responsibility for every Israeli "civilian" killed in the occupied territories because the Israeli government has located them in a war zone. It's as if we moved 300 San Diego families to a suburb of Tikrit, and then got mad at the Iraqi insurgents for attacking US "civilians" in the area.
