If a tree falls in a forest

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

If an attempted terror attack by Palestinian gunmen using explosives, mines and booby trapped horses against the IDF is not condemned by opposition leader Tzipi Livni, but, instead she harshly condemns threats and violence against both police officers in Jerusalem and IDF officers in the West Bank by Haredim and settlers, does that mean that the terror attack was never attempted? (Incidentally, click here to read an interesting article by Caroline Glick about Tzip Livni.)

If animal rights groups such as PETA do not condemn the use of booby trapped horses, but focus, instead, on shechita practices, does that mean militants are free to use animals in such a barbaric fashion?

If Secretary of State Clinton says that settlement expansion is unhelpful, but doesn't utter one grievance against the use of mines and explosives and a planned terror attack at the Gaza crossing, does that mean that such an attack is helpful?
