    #4 In this case, everything and anything is fair target and the more the response, the more appropriate. And, as soon as Israel tries to defend herself you will hear the shrill howling noises of protest from the European union and the Tower of Babel(aka the united nations) fill the media. Just remember, there was a person who said we can negotiate with terrorists–his name Neville Chamberlain.
