Why do people continually throw the line "So it is OK for the Palestinians to deploy Suicide bombers into Israel to kill as many as possible without warning. But Israel is not permitted to defend its own people" at people as soon as anyone dares criticise Israel. Thats not what the poster was suggesting at all as you know well. I also don't think he was trying to assemble support for terrorists
You seem to be suggesting that we should Israel by the same standards that we judge Hammas. But why should we? Developed civilised democratic countries have to be judged using higher standards or else what are we fighting against in this so called war on terror?
I have been critical of the level of force used by Israel since day one and I do believe that they have a serious case to answer for some of their actions. However, articles like this and the reaction of many Israeli people to the stories coming out show that unlike Hammas, Israel does genuinely care about the loss of human life and for that reason they deserve our support in their battle against terrorists. That support doesn't extend to a blank cheque and it doesn't exempt them from having to answer for their actions just like the scrutinty the US has faced in places like Iraq and guantanamo bay.
