Terrorists can wear uniforms.

Hey, at least they don't kill their own citizens over trivial things like extramarital sex (including homosexuality), consensual heterosexual sodomy, or not being a part of the dominant religion. Israel has its own glaring flaws (seriously, arguing for or against Israel or Palestine having any sort of moral high ground is as ridiculous as arguing the same for White Spy or Black Spy), but the willy-nilly use of the death penalty so alarmingly common in Arab countries isn't one of them.
