Collective punishment, where does the idea come from?

Is it particularly Jewish?
If a palestinian is a ‘terrorist’, then his family’s house is destroyed. This is the law, and it is used.
In Gaza, they all have to suffer, (talk about galvanising the enemy). I read in Haaretz a Gazan saying, ‘now we are all for Hamas’.
In Lebanon, what the hell ???
The whole world saw pictures of mutilated children.
It is also against the Geneva convention.
Is anyone allowed to raise the issue? Or is this a red line?
