JM: "Who else would allow missiles to pepper their citizens for years"

Great Britain, for one, who lived through decades of "troubles" in Northern Ireland.

They never used helicopter gunships, nor did they drop Great Big Bombs from jet fighters.

I guess they are just a more stoic people, Jasmine.

JM: ", with impunity?"

Errrr, what planet are you living on, Jasmine? The IDF strikes back with great regularity, to the extent that the Palestinian`s "accidental" death toll from IDF retaliation greatly outnumbers the Israeli death toll from those dinky little Qassams.

JM: "Try it with Syria for a week and see what happens."

Artillery duels with Syria were once a common occurence, Jasmine. As were very serious IAF bombing raids, including the complete destruction of a very major Syrian water diversion scheme.

Syria did not go to war over any of those incidents.

I guess they are just a more commonsense and level-headed group of people, Jasmine.
