I too, Steve, do not wish to perpetuate this drift unreasonably. But feel bound to ask which/whose "sovereign territory" do you claim Israel to have attacked? Any territories they may have attacked that I can call to mind (tho their military activities are mainly arguably defensive) are of disputed sovereignty: so is not calling them "sovereign territories" under attack a fine example of the fallacy of petitio principii, commonly called 'begging the question' — "providing what is essentially the conclusion of the argument as a premise" - Wikipedia? ≈M≈
