That is the fundamental duty of those who take the oath of the Constitution: Defense. Defense of your Nation. Defense of this liberty. And it can't be defended if it is under attack from a foreign nation. So, absolutely, Israel has the right to defend itself and to respond to attacks. Again, it is abhorrent and completely insulting to refer to it as they do, and to take the side of the aggressor in this regard and say that, well, the response is disproportionate. What is the proportionate response when your innocent family is killed under the barrage of an unwarranted unprovoked missile attack from across the closed border? What is the appropriate response? If it were your family, I guarantee you, I would want a very robust response to stop,--to stop the missiles coming in.
