Defending Israel’s "disproportionate" defense

Posted 30 Dec 2008 in foreign policy, terrorism, war

With all the talking heads this weekend discussing Israel’s recent military actions against Hamas for firing over 200 rocket and mortar attacks onto Israeli civilians and whether or not the Israeli response was justified or “proportional”, this quote from Sigmund, Carl and Alfred sums things up best for me.

“There is no such thing as a ‘disproportionate response’ to calls for genocide. All conflicts end with ‘disproportionate response.’ 

The Israelis are entitled to defend themselves from those who openly or not so openly call for their annihilation.

Peace among nations is arrived at when the cost of war becomes overwhelming.”

Damn skippy. It’s about time the world gets serious in this “war against terrorism.” So long as we allow terrorist tactics to achieve their goals, we will continue to have terrorism.

dispresponse1Israel continually makes concessions and peace plans with barbarians whose stated goal is their complete elimination. So I think it’s a good idea if Israel changes the game plan and give these scum more than their “proportional” dose of medicine. Wars aren’t won with fairness.

Gates of Vienna offers an analogy that, pardon the pun, blows the “proportionality” argument away.

…imagine that you’re woken up in the middle of the night by a burglar in the living room. You grab your twelve-gauge and creep down the stairs very quietly. But when you flip on the light and surprise the burglar, he’s armed with only a knife! What do you do? Why, you drop the shotgun, rush to the kitchen, and rummage through the drawers for a knife. And not just any knife — it has to be no longer or sharper than the one the burglar has! 

So eat it, Hamas. If you wanna play rough, then reap the whirlwind. If you want peace, then stop teaching your children from birth to hate and exterminate Israel.
