On the Number of Rockets that Israel Is Supposed to Accept Before They Do What Pretty Much Every Other Country On the Planet Would Do (i.e., Retaliate)

Look, I have no problem criticizing the Israelis (and have, everything from the U.S.S. Liberty to Netanyahu lying for a quarter century about Iran's nuclear program) but for Christ sake you can't allow your population to be terrorized for weeks without addressing it. And please don't give me this bullshit argument about "proportion" in that a) there has never been a conflict in human history where the casualties were identical and b) the only reason why there haven't been as many deaths on the Israeli side isn't benevolence and measure from the Palestinians (anybody with half a brain knows that they would gladly slaughter a million Jews had they the wherewithal) but rather the latter's incompetence. Of course if it's your penchant to blame Israel whenever someone slips on a banana peel......
