They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good. They get on the TV screens and they get people to ask questions about, well, you know, this, that or the other. I mean, they're able to kind of say to people: Don't come and bother us, because we will kill you. Bush - Joint News Conference with Blair - 28 July '06

John Kerry: Qana Massacre - "That can hurt"

Has Israel overreacted?

KERRY: No, look, Israel was attacked. Israel had its soldiers kidnapped. What would we do if our soldiers were kidnapped? I think we would respond.

And Israel responded against an entity that is a terrorist organization, fully committed to its destruction without ever wavering from that statement. Now, when you've got thousands and thousands of rockets that are aimed at you, some of them coming into your country, you're ultimately forced to respond.

Now, had there occasionally been incidents, like the other day where it is regrettable for Israel, for everybody who is supportive of it? Of course. Obviously, that can hurt. Link
