Yes I am avoiding opining on the latest round of Israel-Palestinian violence. My views on the general situation are well documented and I am sure everyone familiar with them could extrapolate from them. However the usual claim of Israel making a disproportionate response has been raised.
Apparently the might of the IDF armed with 'war planes', tanks and well armed soldiers versus a few thousand terrorists is disproportionate.
Oddly the same argument was not used when terrorists fire Katyusha missiles at Israeli civilians. Likewise proportionality was ignored when Islamic terrorists massacred the unarmed Fogle family in their beds?Mind you in that instance, the BBC did their level best to ignore that story altogether.
