Collin, you seem to suggest that there is some sort of parity between terrorists firing randomly at Israeli civilians on a daily basis, such as the unfortunate one who died today while firing mortar rounds, and Israeli actions to prevent this sort of behavior. "Equal time" you say, as if this parity existed.

As your comment points out, unintentionally, is that there is nothing equal about these different things, least of all time. Palestinians have been attacking Israeli civilians daily, Israeli responses occur infrequently, and the kind of massive operations that you describe even less frequently than that.

The most fundamental difference, though, is the difference in the targets of these disparate measures. I`ll leave you to work out who targets whom.
