The supporters of Israel sometimes argue: what other option is really left with Israel than killing the Palestinian "terrorists"?
Many Israeli supporters want to invoke Israel's success story -- economic, technological and entrepreneurial-- to justify their actions on and their treatments of the Palestinians. The line of reasoning is somewhat like this:The fact that I own a a posh car indicates that I worked hard and that I have the talents to be eligible to buy that fashionable car. You cannot afford such a car, implying that you are inferior to me. And now you, out of anger and jealousy, will always try to throw stones and break the windows of my car. Therefore, it is legitimate for me to punish you whenever I see you near my car. This logic, which may be rhetorically spot on, is actually misleading and falsification of the underlying truth. I shall argue with more and more concrete evidences from time to time that the causality is in the opposite direction.
