I guess it's like this... say I am Hamas and you are Israel.
I keep flicking toothpicks at your face in the bar... you yell STOP
but I laugh and keep flicking the toothpicks at your face.
The bar security do nothing...
So you get up and close both my eyes ( No one in the bar pulls you off because you are 16stone and solidly built..a few onlookers shout out hey... hey.. but no one does anything to stop you)
I just laugh and keep flicking toothpicks at your face .. hard , then harder...occasionally getting one in your eye.
Do you beat me unconscious or leave?
Leave and run the risk of having to fight several big hairy bikers on the way out for being such a wimp..
not a great analogy... but you get my drift?
