To illustrate,
Lets say you and a very good friend of yours are at a bar, I am there too. Your friend comes up to me punches me and gives me a black eye.
I pull out a revolver and shoot at your friend, meanwhile hitting you with a stray bullet in the head and killing you.
Poor illustration.

Israel did not suffer a "black eye".

It had a couple of its citizens abducted from within its own borders.[/b]
Point 3 still applies - assuming it was not a black eye but a my buddy killed then it's ok for me to shoot you?[/b]
1) I come to your house and kidnap your children
2) I say I will torture and kill them
3) You come after me, shoot me, but the bullet passes through and kills some random guy down the street

That would be closer to what is going on IMO.
