75. Right to defend. Has limits

I have no objection to Israel defend itself. I do have an issue with killing anyone because sometime in the future they may decide to harm you! Truly this only promotes further violence and install s hate. You killed my mother, father, brother, sister, cousin now I am going to seek revenge. Just look to trump he is out to revenge any one he thinks did him a bad. Israel is doing that now. WTF
