You're right, Israel's situation isn't like 9/11. Its probably worse. Sure we as Americans have terrorism in the back of our minds, somewhere, but for Israelis, it is in the forefront, EVERYONE has been touched by it, and everyone must live in constant fear of it. Also, the IRA example is terrible. You act as though the British simply singled out the terrorists...Forgetting the fact that they beat, killed and spit on the Irish in the north, regardless of whether they were actually members of IRA or the PIRA. Now if Israel began going in and beating up everybody who was thought to sympathize with Hezbollah, that would be similar to some of what the British did in the North.
