    but is it the right of a country to defend its citizens? the rockets dont do nothing. they terrorize, destroy property, and kill. i doubt where you live, rockets fall every day or bombs drop from planes. you cant say they do nothing. they do something. living in fear is horrible. but of course its easy for us to say israel should absorb it, but how do you think that makes the people of Sderot, who are under rocket attacks daily, feel? i think right now they feel great becasue the IAF is doing something.
    it is the right of every country to defend its citizens from acts of aggression, no matter what.

    A very emotional take. Doesn't help much though, does it? Northern Ireland was not sorted out by sending in tanks / SAS / Commandoes to kill indiscriminately. I don't imagine that this will help in Palestine.

    The phrase "no matter what" of course means that other lives are worthless compared to those in your own country.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    but countries have a duty to protect their citizens, no?

    btw when i say "no matter what" i mean no matter what public opinion or what the UN says.
