I’d like to point out the obvious: I have no idea whether the people killed are innocent. I have no knowledge of what motivated their choices or indeed what their choices were. Therefore I believe that their deaths should be avoided if at all possible. Obviously though, Israel has right to exist, exists, and thus has a right to defend itself.

I am seeing much unmitigated hatred poring forth (a little here and even more elsewhere) from many people that I’d likely otherwise respect. Hatred of evil acts is completely appropriate. Hatred of perpetrators of such acts slightly less so but understandable. Hatred of all things with a pulse merely because they live in a geographic area is IMHO unacceptable and reprehensible.
