Hmmmmm. So if Pakistani terrorists in Kashmir were raining rockets on Indian civilians in Indian territory, the Indian government wouldn't consider that "provocative"?
Oh, yeah. How could I forget? It's only provocative when JEWS defend themselves.
That's as stupid and misinformed as anyone can get. HEre's why:
1) India knows where the terrorist camps are located (PoK, Lahore, Karachi), but should they fire rockets at them, even if only terrorists are killed, the USA will condemn such an unprovoked attack. Double standards or not?
2) If like someone else says, Israel should have the right to fire rockets at another "state" in pursuit of terrorists, you cannot equate such a right to the act of terrorism itself. When Zarqawi did it, we termed him a terrorist and you bombed the hell out of his lair and served him with just desserts. Israel is not a terrorist state. It is expected to behave within such parameters (although in private, Indians laud the Israelies for not taking shit from any terrorists).
3) Given this, its only real-politik and its about doing the politically correct thing to do. Trust me, if Israel was an oil supplier and could satisfy India's thirst for oil, we'll start with bombing Pakistan the next day and over-run all those Muzzie terrorist holes for free.
Sorry, that post was meant for Lion Roars.
