israel kidnaps palestinian deputy PM

if it's a crime for Hezbollah to take Israeli soldiers captive, and that crime justifies unlimited war against the civilians of Lebanon; then why doesn't this kidnapping by Israelis justify unlimited war against the civilians of Israel? again Israel exhibits a blatant double standard.

if it's a crime to belong to a "terrorist organization", and Israel has the right to unilaterally decide what constitutes a "terrorist organization"; then why don't the Palestinians also have a right to unilaterally decide that the entire government of Israel is a "terrorist organization", and act accordingly?

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) -
Israel seized Palestinian Deputy Prime Minister Naser al-Shaer, a top official of the Hamas militant group, at his home in the occupied West Bank on Saturday.
...

Israel has more than two dozen Hamas lawmakers and several other cabinet ministers in custody since late June, after it launched an offensive in response to the kidnapping of a soldier in a cross-border raid from the
Gaza Strip.
...

An Israeli army spokesman confirmed troops had taken al-Shaer into custody, saying it was "due to his membership in a terrorist organization."
