Your house analogy only works if about half the people in the other house want you dead and will kill the other residents if they disagree with them. Secondly, you're arguing proportionality with the wrong dude. Bel and I agree on the people of Gaza not being homogenous in their support for Hamas, but we disagree considerably about the validity of Israel's response to 10/07.
The point I'm making with the house analogy is that Sociopathicsteelerfan has the right to respond disproportionately to their neighbor. If the people in that house don't want to get killed when you decide to roll up to their house with 50 of your cousins armed with AR-15's then I would suggest they make their best effort to get out of there.. Even if that means possibly dying by the hands of those they're harboring.
You don't have to be equivelant with every evil act committed by a person in order to lose protection from the wrath that will come from the ones that were perpetrated against. If you attempt to protect a murderer/rapist with genocidal intentions by giving your self up as a living shield, then you better be prepared to die.
