Israel Has Every Right to Take Action Against Terror
(Telegraph-UK) Peter Mullen - Imagine what it's like to be a little boy or girl in small Israeli towns such as Sderot, where they have half a minute's warning to sprint to the air-raid shelters, and where the schools are closed for weeks at a time. To have to live under such a threat is to know the meaning of terror. No doubt the Palestinians have legitimate grievances coupled with territorial aspirations. Israel has generally understood these grievances, and time and again tried to meet its opponents halfway. To be sure, this is a labyrinthine mess, but wouldn't any sovereign state take strong action in response to the relentless terror meted out to its civilian population?
