Israel's claim to having the right to defend itself is the equivalent of a rapist claiming the right to love a woman.

I think your analogy breaks down when you use the word love.

The analogy is appropriate, as the point is one needs to discriminate between self-defense (legitimate) and retaliation (illegitimate): love (legitimate) and rape (illegitimate).

I believe that would more aptly be called rape.

Most? Maybe they love to rape or love to kill, but I am thinking they do not love whom you call "their lover."
