Subject: RE: BS: Who Are the Terrorists
The Israeli armed forces are indeed "using disproportionate lethal force... in response to terrorist attacks." As are some Palestinians.

And every time it makes it harder to stop the cycle. One difference is that the Israeli government is in a position to stop their armed forces just like that, whereas the power of the Palestinian authority to stop the suicide bombers can hardly be more than marginal.
