Over at Reckonin‘, in response to my Gaza bookstore news, Roscoe left this cogent comment:

So weary of hearing about Israel’s right to defend itself. If I am walking down the street and someone attempts to rob me, I have the right to defend myself, even with deadly force if it comes to that. I do not have the right to murder all of the relatives of the person who attacked me.

That’s pretty much it. About the only way to dress it up any would be for the robbery to occur at Party “I’s” house. Someone with I’s name owned the house a long time ago. The house changed hands many times, coming into the possession of the family of the man who tried to rob I. I had lately and forcible moved in, claiming some ancient right of title, and forced the robber and his family into a cage in the backyard. The robber left the cage for the robbery, which looked a lot like trying to reclaim a stolen house. After fighting with robber, Party I now relentlessly peppers the caged family with buckshot. Fat, stupid, wicked neighbors hang over the fence cheering and pledging money and arms.

Perfect and perfectly terrible.
