It becomes a problem when you have Palestinian civilians hurling rocks and shooting at them, are you seriously going to ask them to not return fire? I am glad to hear that Israel is finally policing within their ranks, no excuse for murder like that.

The targeted assassinations and bulldozing of the houses of dead bombers (and in some cases their relative's houses as well) is not what I would consider the defensive actions of a just government. As I said, I think both sides suck. Israel, though, as the mature adult in this fight, has a responsibility to make the first move.
