re: Soldier murdered in terrorist incident in Woolwich
The violence begets violence idea only really holds up, if regardless of which side gives up violence the other will always continue. Israel has no desire to be aggressive. If people would stop attacking them, they would be happy with that and be completely peaceful. It is a case of self-defence and saying we're not letting you get away with attacking us. If Israel didn't retaliate, the attacks against them would continue and might intensify to provoke a response.
