SIMPLISTIC one-liners, such as, "Israel has a right to self-defence", or "help Israel fight terrorism", do not fit the facts. They fit the facts very well. It is a war by terror, a shocking obscenity and illegal under international law. War by terror or shocking obsenity? Only in the sense that all war involves death, destruction and terror, and is in a sense obscene. "Illegal under international law", Nonsense. There is no international agreement or principle that says that a nation may not defend itself when attacked, or that it must never strike at the enemy if there is any chance that civilians might be killed.
