No I mean the Gazan people that elected Hamas, a terrorist organization that uses citizens as shields and has no regard for any life. They are all complicit in the attacks on Israel.

Israel is the aggressor here. So I am sure you will support Palestinian's right of self defense against an invading army.[/quote]

You can believe that, but, Israel responded to the launch of rockets into Israel.  If I am holding an AR 15, and you come at me with a knife, I can defend myself.[/quote]

Defend, yes. But within a moral framework.

American values dictate meeting force with "like" force, not greater force. We inherited that value system from British common law when we first set up our country and its legal framework. And British Common Law was based on Judeo-Christian values.  Fending off a knife with a machine gun is overkill and changes the whole scenario from self-defense to an offensive attack. And that's where your example and Israel's current actions lose their moral standing.[/quote]
