I suppose you also believe the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden was murder.

  Yes, yes it was. Why not arrest him and try him for war crimes? Assuming that there's enough evidence to convict - and if not, why is that enough to go and kill him?

    I disagree but I respect your consistency.

      The rule of law is important. Tit-for-tat exchanges like the ones that Israel and Palestine are engaging in solve nothing. It descends into monkey hindbrain us-against-them. Another very similar scenario recently was Northern Ireland. That didn't get solved by the UK grinding Ireland into the ground or posting inflammatory things in the news - it was solved by both sides showing restraint and good will. Currently neither Israel or Palestine are showing anything of the sort, but as the larger, more powerful party (eg. I doubt Palestinans have bunkers), it's up to Israel to show some restraint... but they aren't, they're still posturing about how tough they are. It's maddening to watch.
