Israel's self-defense

It seems that the Europeans continue to sink lower and lower by defining Israel's attempts to defend its citizens from terrorists as an "act of terror". Throughout this war that the Palestinians started in September of 2000, every single one of Israel's actions against the terrorists has been criticized. So Schiff in his article has the answer to what Israel should do:

"Presumably if we were to defend ourselves in this war of terror by throwing rocks, the world would still complain. Most critics don't believe Israel has a right to self-defense. Israel, therefore, should in most cases ignore the critics. We should be the ones to criticize what is happening on our side and around us."
