is your analogy supposed to infer that Lebanon has control over the terrorist groups within its borders? Or that they keep it fed and sheltered? Have there been peace talks between Lebanon and Israel, from which the Lebanese withdrew prematurely?
To take the analogy a little bit further, suppose the only reason the dog was vicious was due to years of abuse and torture, and that each attack was provoked by the victim. Should the dog still be destroyed?
Ultimately, comparing the Palestinians to dogs does nothing other than to dehumanize a very human crisis. Like it or not, we're all still human beings, even the terrorists.
