......”disproportionate and excessive use of force.” .....
har. He read the standard response with out doing the math.
4 well aimed missles is said to be disproportionate and excessive response to 50 poorly aimed missles.
It would seem to be a limited response by around 12 to 1
>>Condoleezza Rice is due to arrive this week, but instead of promoting peace talks, she likely will try to put out the latest fire.<<
Somebody please revoke her diplomatic passport!!
Let’s not forget that two Israeli soldiers also were killed. If we want Israel to have a proportional response, then we need to take population into account.
Israel = 5.5 million jews.
Muslim = approxmiately 20% of world population (1.2 billion)
A proportional response would be 220 Arabs for each Israeli killed. It looks like Israel’s response has been disproportionate so far considering that 2 Israelis were killed. They have a lot more work ahead of them to meet the proportional response request.
