Former Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin was in charge of the Irgun, the people who blew up the King David Hotel. Did he have "murder in his eyes" when that bomb killed 91 people?
How about the present prime minister, Arik Sharon, when he led the notorious Unit 101 of the Hagannah, massacring Arab villagers? Much more recently, his own people were disgusted at what he allowed to happen in Sabra and Shatilla.
By all means attempt to justify why Israel acts as it does in purely pragmatic terms, but don't adopt a high moral tone or try to bury everyone in emotive rhetoric about murders and bloody hands.
