Reply #7: That opens an ugly can of worms...

If we just go on what works and what doesn't work and leave moral qualms and international law out of it, I can think of quite a few times in the last century when things were carried out that worked, but were totally appalling to most people. Also there are folk that will argue till they're blue in the face that everything Israel does works, and people who'd argue that everything the Palestinian leadership does works. I think it being about what works and what doesn't work is obviously the way to go, but ONLY if it's done within the bounds of international law. After all, if Israel is somehow exempt from international law, then why should Israel demand that the Palestinians abide by international law?
