Regardless, a terrorist threat is not an excuse to commit endless war crimes and breaches of human rights.

If this was the 80's would you all have supported similar actions committed by us towards the irish people because of the IRA? We did enough bad **** as it was, and there's no denying the bigotry that took place but if we responded to the IRA like Israel responds to Hamas then we'd be violently occupying them further, forcing people out of their homes and airstriking civilians, and having our soldiers treat the citizenry like animals to be put down at the soldiers' pleasure. Terrorism does not justify such behaviour as a response.
