"If there is one issue separating Israel from its role models in the West, it is the perceived legitimacy of using force. In Europe, and in many parts of American public opinion, military power is seen as an option of last resort; a primitive, old-fashioned and often counterproductive tool of policy. To us, hitting our enemies once in a while feels like a necessary behavior in a tough neighborhood."
--Aluf Benn.
Every Western Democracy you cited would use over F'ing whelming force if a neighboring country or foreign governments were lobbing rockets across their borders.
I mean really, France, the US, Briton, Germany would go absolutley ape shit crazy if rockets were landing in their territory.
I guess Salon's BS detector was broken when you submitted this article
Your thesis and therefore your whole article makes no sense.
