Is there a great distinction between sending missiles from your place or blowing yourself up at the site, other than sheer desperation, as the Palestinians have no other means to even the score against tanks, missiles etc.?

The fact that you even make such a statement is sadly telling. It also explains why you are able to side with the Palis.

The answer is very simple for people with a healthy sense of right and wrong; It depends on whom you target to kill. Targeting pizza patrons, teens dancing with friends, and little girls' Bat Mitzvas is uncivilized. And anyone who would attempt to justify it, or draw a moral symmetry between that standard of behavior and that of the Israelis is also missing a fundamental clue in the justice department.

IOW, Your credibility is shot. Bye Bye.

Silly blindness at work here. Do you recall that it was teen-aged boys, protesting Sharon's visit to the dirt under the mosque, that were fired on in cold blood by Israeli soldiers, because some of them threw rocks, in the unrestrained fury of youth? that it was Mad Madeline (who BTW rejected accord in favor of fighting in Yugo) who complained that the Palestinians fought back with rocks against Israeli arms? That the ratio of Palestinian civilians killed to Israelis was in the ratio of 7 to 1, last I checked before these recent attacks, the result of Israel's forays into 3 Mid-East countries when Arafat got them to stop fighting back last month? You are only kidding yourself. It may be bye-bye to you, but not for me until I see some real justice in this world.
