I think the author would say that a just act would be anything aimed directly at the destruction of the guerillas, including operations across the border -- but not acts aimed rather at the civilian population of Lebanon, especially outside the area controlled by Hamas.
It might seem presumptuous for an outsider to hold Israel to a higher standard of conduct than the terrorists, but I can't help being encouraged that some Israelis themselves do.
I refer to the author's point of view rather than my own, because mine is shaped by a Quaker education in a way many would find unhelpful.
