Is this from the Onion, or does the KGB butcher of Grozny have no shame?

The Israelis have every right to insure nothing stands taller than two feet tall in Gaza.

Attacks on the south of Israel and the disproportionate strikes on Gaza

Yea. That's the way it works. See, we don't see Israel running to the store to buy firecrackers and sparklers to throw back at them when they already have an arsenal of defense to go and eliminate the current threat completely.

It's war, not tit-for-tat, tidly-winks and patty-cake shaking.

proportionate responses yield stalemates

If the muzzies don't like being on the wrong end of Israeli arty and air strikes, they could try the simple expedient of not shooting rockets into Israel.

Hey muzzies: Keep your Syrian civil war inside Syria, and the Israelis will probably not mess with you.

Just a thought ...

insanity

let 300 rockets land in Moscow and see what happens

Sorry Mr. Putin, I can’t hear you, I have this ‘Chechnya’ in my ear.

[ Russia condemns ‘disproportionate’ strikes on Gaza ]

Thats very very true....

Proportionate would be cleaning out GAZA like a massive dose of EX_LAX..
Cutting off all water and food supplies.. but allowing the residents to go to Egypt or Jordan.. or “wherever”

BUT NOT to Lebanon or Syria... GAZA is a HIVE of hornets.. killer bees..

Soviet Union blasts USA for ‘disproportionate’ response to attack on Pearl Harbor. “All-out war sacrifices too many lives,” said Mr. Stalin.

[Political Junkie Too]

So when Obama says if they bring a knife we bring a gun, we should accuse him of disproportionate response?

"disproportionate"

Ah. That's the word. I was trying to remember this just this afternoon reading another article.

This is the word that's trotted out any time Israel defends itself.

One would think that disproportionate would be wiping out everyone in the strip and the west bank, which I think they should do or at least to deport them to other muslim countries.

I hope Israel has a total count of missiles fired at it since 2007 then it can say when we double that amount, then it will be disproportionate.

MOSCOW: Russia on Thursday condemned Israel's "disproportionate" use of force in air strikes on the Gaza Strip

Disproportionate?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !

Let's talk about Russia's little 9-year sojourn into Afghanistan and the huge numbers of Mi-24 Hind gunships used against the local population, which wasn't lobbing hundreds of rockets into the Soviet Union... for decades.

[Marguerite]

Putin is the master of “disproportionate”. Think Chechenya, Daghestan and Georgia.

If only Israel did that to Gaza to emulate Putin...

"Russia on Thursday condemned Israel's "disproportionate" use of force in air strikes on the Gaza Strip" ... Putin "work" in Grozny downtown, 1995
