Let's assume they were indeed 'peaceful, unarmed farmers'.You are a hoot.Najd (Arabic: نجد) was a Palestinian Arab village, located 14 kilometers (8.7 mi) northeast of Gaza City.What attacks?Piddly compared to Israel's attacks.Actually, there are extensive lists of attacks by Islamic terrorist Pals.There are so few attacks by Palestinians that Israel has to pimp them for decades.See 'Basic Moral Question' in the opening post.

One of the Most Celebrated Heroes of the Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP) is Dalal al-Maghribi.
(COMMENT)So you are fine with blowing up the wife and kids.
I think we have different standards of morality.
Yes, our standards of morality are different.

Najd was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517 with the rest of Palestine, and in the 1596 tax registers, the village, called Najd al-Garbi, was located in the nahiya (subdistrict) of Gaza under the liwa' (district) of Gaza. It had a population of 39 Muslim household; an estimated 215 persons.
As the population grew during the Mandate period, the village expanded northwestward. The village population was Muslim, and the children attended school in Simsim, 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) to the northeast. The villagers worked primarily in agriculture and animal husbandry. Fields of grain and fruit trees surrounded Najd on all sides. The fruit trees were concentrated to the north and northeastern sides, where irrigation water was available from wells.[16]
According to Benny Morris, the villagers of Najd were expelled by soldiers from the Negev Brigade on 12–13 May, during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[7]
Following the war the area was incorporated into the State of Israel and the city of Sderot was founded in 1951 on village land, a few miles to the south of the village site,[16] while Or HaNer was founded in 1957 also on village land, to the northeast.[16]

Do you realize Najd was a colony named after a region in central Arabia?
According to your logic violence against foreigners is justifiable.
So what is the problem with this tactic?
You ask about morality. There are three things that I look at in the Ten Commandments: Stealing, Killing, and Lying.
These are the three pillars of Israel's founding and existence.
The Palestinians have been fighting this aggression for over a hundred years. Their methods are determined by their limited resources.
As for Najd, the village predates the Ottoman empire. For how long, I don't think anybody knows. There is no record of them attacking or replacing anyone. Just some peaceful farmers trying to make a living. There is no reason to attack and expel them.
They are now refugees in Gaza shooting rockets into their home town.
But you didn't differentiate whether anyone in the coffee shop attacked the suicide bomber,
their mere presence was enough a justification for you.
So why do you treat this one differently?
As for your appeal to the 10 Commandments, the irony of which you definitely don't see,
even if we assume your accusations had any basis in reality,
then you must also know that:
- stealing from a thief (Arabs) is exempted from punishment
- one who raises to kill you (Arabs), kill him first
- lying is permissible for peace (Aharon A"H)
As for the aggression - no Israeli ever shot a bullet before the Arab pogroms.
So tell me, what is immoral about expelling your enemy?
Is it less or more effective self-defense than suicide bombing?Peaceful, unarmed farmers are your enemy.So tell me, what is immoral about expelling your enemy?
Please explain.
Haven't you already justified killing them with your 'suicide-bomber' logic?
