It is indeed a test. And we a failing.
no test, Bibi
the world will just re-arm the terrorists so they can attack you again
you need to win next time. eliminate these Satanic murderers.
Why are you holding out? Eliminate them.
Let’s strip this issue down to its essentials.
Suppose you are at the beach with your family, and an enemy who has sworn to kill you and your family is also at the beach with his family. You have no particular desire to exterminate his family. You are both armed.
The enemy sees you, pulls his weapon, and begins firing at you. You grab your firearm and fire back.
The enemy grabs one of his children and holds it in front of him as a shield, and begins to advance ... firing at you.
Do you fire back?
You have seconds to make this decision. You know that if you fire back, you will probably kill the child before you kill him, and thus be labeled as a “baby killer”. The legal system may indict you for murder of the child, and lawyers, judges, and jurors may spend months or years reviewing your split second decision.
If you do not fire back, he will probably kill you.
I invite you to share your answer and your rationale.
Now extrapolate your answer to Gaza and Israel.
