The Israelis, at least, are trying to identify the sources of threats and act specifically against those threats.
When rockets are fired into Palestine by Israelis, the thinking is that anybody they kill will be a valid target, because that person killed will have been a terrorist.
Not true. The Israelis don't just blindly fire in the general direction of Palestine and hope that they kill somebody. They are taking specific aim at targets that they believe represent a real threat to their security.

The Arabs, on the other hand, are just blindly firing rockets in the general direction of Israel, hoping that they will kill a Jew or three, whether or not those particular Jews happen to represent a specific threat to them.

You seem to be ignoring that very important difference.

And innocent in quotations, is it? You’re a “nice” person.
Take a step back and breath deeply, honourable Dâriûsh. I think that that's about the closest I have ever seen you come to ad hominem.

I put the word "innocent" in quotations because I believe that ever since the Palestinians elected a known terrorist organization with genocide as its stated goal as their legitimate government, they have lost any moral high-ground that they might ever have been able to cling to.

You see, the Holy Land™ is wrecked by a mindset of retaliation followed by retaliation, followed by retaliation, followed by retaliation, followed by retaliation, ad infinitum. And that is not just a Palestinian invention.
Nothing incorrect in that statement.
