I think you're missing the point.

Why do people who fail to make their point, invariably blame others for missing the point?

Why not say, "Obviously, I failed to make my point clearly."

Everything's copacetic.

but perhaps not totally satisfactory to everyone on both sides of the border.

But Cuba and Mexico were only examples of culturally distinct societies that one could use as examples closer to home for Americans to understand the necessary response to such terrorism.

The point that I obviously failed to make clearly, was simply that the American response to "homicide bombings" by, say Cubans or Mexicans, would very likely result in a non-negotiable, military effort to dismantle the terrorist organizations and any regimes in those countries that harbor those terrorist or sympathize with their political objectives. The issue would not be whether the Cubans or the Mexican dissidents had a point, or valid grievance, or not.

And that seems to be the point that Israel is trying to make to the USA, today.
