Palestinians Have a Right to Defend Themselves!

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

22. How about both sides having a 'right to defend themselves' that doesn't involve

"defending" with missiles or rockets?

I don't see how indiscriminate damage and killing on the part of anyone constitutes 'defense'. You don't 'defend' yourself from a mugger by blowing up the apartment building next to the alley where he mugged you, nor do you 'defend' yourself from him by pointing a crappy rocket with no guidance system in the general direction of the alley from a few miles away.

Palestinians would have a far stronger case against the oppression of the RW Israeli governments if they actually worked to stop the idiots who want to shoot off rockets, kidnap people, or do suicide bombings. Go the political route, take Netanyahu and the IDF to the ICC, and quit giving them excuses to pretend they're just 'defending themselves' by destroying 40% of Gaza.
