At least seven killed in attack that took place moments before Iran launched a barrage of rockets at Israel.

    This wasn’t an act of war, it was an act of terrorism. They shot passengers on a train. All casualties were civilian.

      Exactly! This is why I say Israel has a right to defend itself while Hamas should not be allowed to exist.

      Though recent events (like Israel’s pager attack) have made this argument much weaker…

        Eh, Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah all have the right to exist, and to defend themselves. But we have to define that pretty strictly.

        Carpet-bombing Gaza isn’t defense.

        Slaughtering music festival attendees is not defense.

        Indiscriminate bomb planting and destination is not defense.

        Shooting up a train station is not defense.

        Bombing hospitals and aid trucks is not defense.

        I draw the line at deliberately or recklessly killing civilians.
