double standards
Let me see if I have this right.
Government-sponsored (or at least -protected) terrorists attack civilians in the latters' home country. The militarily-superior victim demands surrender of those responsible, the demands are ignored, and the victim then attacks with a fair bit of restraint to try to minimize civilian casualties.
This is appropriate behavior for the US but a horrible sin for Israel.
Huh?
For the US government to continue to criticize Israel and tell them they should accept terrorists blowing up restaurants and assassinating cabinet members boggles the mind. I mean, we're not exactly leading by example, are we?
