Yep, I don't quite understand the criticism of Israel's defensive retaliation (at least from much of Europe...Russia and China I get). I really find myself at a loss for words at the moment, but you'll get no criticism from me. We nearly went to nuclear war with the Soviet Union over just the prospect of missiles in Cuba. So to have missiles raining down (unguided into civilians no less) is enough to provoke any country to action.
