"Post and be damned."
And drive this thread into yet another "you said, I said, the writer said" blind alley - don't think so really. If you really can't remember where you got your 'original thoughts', do what I did and google them again.
You accused Don of cut-and-paste - he denied it - you don't feel the need to justify your accusations or withdraw them, neither do I.

"Those "ineffective" rockets do kill, maim and terrorise".
So do the chemical weapons, the tanks, the bombings, the destruction of hospitals, schools and homes, the killing of civilians, the blockade, the checkpoints, the wall - which you have neither acknowledged nor denied, so therefore, you find acceptable.
Do you think this all or any of this is a good or bad thing?
Compare like with like in this somewhat David and Goliath situation and you have a true picture.
