"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
some days i think the left is stupid,
some days i think they are evil
and most i think both.
gosh, i hate those @#%#$.
Michael Lerner is a leftist lunatic. He is a pro-Palastinian propagandist. How can people talk about proportionality of response when Hamas has never stopped sending missles into Israel trying to kill as many Israelis as possible. They make no distinction between women and children. Their targets are civilians.
Now Israel has been forced to try to eliminate Hamas as a threat. It remains to be seen whether they will be successful, but this garbage about Palastinian civilians is intolerable. There is no way to seperate Hamas terrorists from so called civilians. Everybody knows that.
These creeps in the media know it. Even the so called fair and balanced Fox News is hammering that theme. Israel is on its own now. The United States has been telling them for decades not to respond too strenuously when they engage Hamas. What we have is a world full of hypocrites who really just wish that Israel cease to exist.
It would make perfect sense to me if Israel finally said that they are doomed as a nation over the long run and all stops are removed. They should use any means necessary to destroy those Muslim monsters who want them dead. If they are doomed anyway why not go out with a bang?
As far as the repercussions for the Middle East and even for America, that will not be their problem.
The entire concept of proportional response in war is a sick and perverted doctrine of sado-masochists and enemy propagandists. It only ensures that a conflict is never ending.
So which is Michael Lerner?
Gotta agree here. Israel should kill them all
Terrorism is by definition, asymmetric.
Yes, Lerner is a moron.
But worse, Lerner is dishonest. Lerner is certainly aware that Israel has been tipping off the Palestinian civilians about impending strikes, and he is also aware that the Hamas terrorists quite deliberately use civilian women and children as shields for themselves and their armaments, and those shields then serve double duty as propaganda fodder after they are killed. ...Just the way Hamas has planned it.
The Israelis have rightly decided to tell the Euro-socialists and American liberals (like Lerner) to drop dead because Israel is finally going to do what must be done - - eradicate the terrorist threat, relentlessly, mercilessly, and thoroughly. To do anything less would be stupid.
Since Israel has sent warnings to these folks before they bomb, there shouldn't have been ANY people killed. Hamas leaders are willing to keep people in places they know will be attacked, because they WANT those bloodied bodies to show on TV.
And yes, Hamas CAN do harm to Israel, by trying to manipulate media coverage to THEIR cause, and against Israel, which only encourages more attacks by crazed Muslims.
Hold onto your wallet! Here comes Zero and Lerner and all the rest of the socialist scumbags to steal whatever they can get their filthy paws on.
A proportionate war is a perpetual war.
Everyone that considers starting a conflict should be very concerned about disproportionate responses.
Michael Lerner remains an arrogant fool. It is obscene that the word “rabbi” has ever been associated with this piece of work.
Anyone claiming ‘measured’ response hasn’t a clue how to fight a war.
They come at you with fists, you bring a club.
They pull a knife, you pull a gun.
The only correct response is one where the enemy never wants to mess with you again.
