A guerrilla army can be fought but not militarily dismantled and war is a game men play just like any other, with it's own rules and rhythms. Therefor it is wisest not to escalate and rather to appear strong, relying on the consent of the enemy to moderate itself. Absolute force, total war... such things are mere tragedies. Israel appears a lot stronger when she shows her strength with restraint- for then the measure of her strength is unguessable and her comparative nobility clear.
Of course, many other countries do far worse and cruder things than Israel and I fully believe her sovereignty and dignity should be respected, yet Israel is at heart a finer country than the others, who would react far worse to similar provocations. It is love for Israel that make us all instinctively hold her to a higher standard, not a spirit of injustice. Special standards for special people... a law followed by the universe and only interpreted by humankind.
