More Irish Parallelism

Since the appointment of George Mitchell as Obama's special envoy to resolve the Israel-Arab conflict with Hillary Clinton's enthusiastic support, the issue of Ireland is important. The peace agreement Mitchell achieved is held up as a sign of success, to be an example.

Well, after the recent terror murders there, which pointed to a little problem (see here), I now read this:

Gerry Adams intensified a row over the use of special forces in Northern Ireland when he suggested that sending them to the Province would “sideline the peace process” and provide fresh impetus for republican splinter groups.

The Sinn Féin leader declared that while the significance of the recent murders should not be minimised, neither should it be exaggerated, because “the vast majority of people, including the people I represent, are opposed to what happened”.

Speaking in Washington, he said that the British Government must resist “any temptation or any demands for a return to the bad practices of the past. This would be equally wrong. It would also sideline the peace process and political leaders.”

Does this mean that if Hamas, Fatah or Islamic Jihad or some other "Martyrs' Brigade" starts up again with the suicide-bombing, Israel would be prohibited from carrying out drastic but necessary action?
