Usually when someone mentions Israel's right to defend itself, it works out to refer to an indefensible act.

your government, just as ours will do what they want to, and yes its frustrating. I also ask myself, why cant we do as "they do" ? but doesnt work that way and we can only pray they will, your US government and our Israeli government will do what they must to protect our people with as less loses of our wonderful IDF boys. G-d bless them for protecting us.
