Israel: BBC Have Your Say

The BBC want to hear what you have to say on the latest Israeli "self defence" against Lebanon and Palestine. I just sent this:
Breaking News:

IRA terrorists based in the Republic of Ireland have kidnapped a British soldier.

In retaliation, the British Army has blown up Dublin airport and shelled southern suburbs of the city killing 60 civillians.

Would this be acceptable here? No, but substitute "British" with "Israeli", "Irish" with "Lebanese" or "Palestinian" and "IRA" with "Hezbollah" or "Hamas" and suddenly it's an act of self defence and the Americans send you some more weapons to help you along.
