I don't think you and I will ever see eye-to-eye on this.  I don't see it as murder.   The Jews obviously don't see it as murder either.    It's a war.  Just as if Mexico fired rockets on us, a response wouldn't be "murder" it would be war.  Murder is the Arabs in Palestine slaughtering their own people on the random accusation of being a spy for the Jews.


You can restate the law against murder all you want.  Since it doesn't apply, it's just a nifty repeat of old testament law.


Or are you contending that all killing is murder without question?


That would be an interesting concept.  Let's think that through...  so if an army from Mexico were to march up and start slaughtering people and invading your state, you'd....  do nothing I suppose?   Obviously the police are not going to stop an army, and clearly you can't shoot back because all killing is murder, so you just.... roll over and die?


Let me ask you, where does the grounds of "murder" end, and "war" begin?  What exactly is your solution to the problem?  What would you suggest the Israelis do?    A bunch of mortars just landed on the house next door, and it's entirely possible if they are not stopped, your death, or your families, could be next.   What should we do?


I support Israel for a number of reasons.   As for religious vs secular, I think the U.N. supported the state of Israel.   If that isn't enough, then the surrounding nations are also invalid as well.


Of course religiously, if you wish to argue from that perspective, then Israel not only has right to it's land, and the Gaza Strip, but also to southern Lebenon and Jordan, and a few other small areas.  In which case, you should be arguing for them to open hostilities with those areas, and wage war to take their rightful land.
