Nope, not our responsibility to police the world, but it is our responsibility to make sure Israel doesn't completely alienate itself from everybody but the US.
Cowperson's points are bang on, but I still don't think the open threat of the assassination of an elected leader is appropriate.
There is something to be said, too, about Israel's irresponsible Naval actions of a few months ago that no doubt led to this whole mess.
Peace is the end goal, and getting rid of Hamas' influence in Gaza and the West Bank is probably the only way to make that happen. Israel, of late, hasn't done a whole lot to help itself IMO.
