Liquour Dealer said that Israel could wipe out all Palestinians if it wanted to and had shown restraint in not doing so. I merely wanted to point out that only causing some terrible destruction and not a gargantuan amount of terrible destruction is not something that should really be praised for its "restraint". I used the Bin Laden analogy to demostrate this.

I don't consider the killing of leaders of a terrorist organization to be "some terrible destruction". LD's point was not that Israel killed less people, but that they killed people guilty of mass-murder. It is unfortunate that 3-5 innocent people were also hit in the strike, but it was not Israel's intent to kill innocent people -- unlike the Hamas and other
terrorist organizations. Israel doesn't kill every Palestinian because they are not a terrorist organization, and do not commit mass-murder.
Would you prefer that Israeli agents start strapping bombs to their chest and wait until they find Hamas leaders on populated busses, and then detonate themselves? Of course not.
