The pro-Hamas rallies in the US have shined a spotlight on who the leftists are. Not that it was not pretty clear before.

It’s just their excuse for supporting terrorism.

War is not a tennis match. You have to fight in every way to totally defeat the enemy and take away his will to continue the fight.

They scream for “proportional war” yet they don’t give a hoot about “proportional civilian defense” whn it comes to Americans being well armed enough to defend themselves against all tyranny foreign and domestic

The ever wise VDH reminds us that war is not meant to be “proportionate”.

I’ve said this here many times.

Only two ways exist to win a war:

(1) Kill all of the enemy.

(2) Break the enemy’s will to fight.

There is no third option.

Israel gets this.

A military axiom states that if you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t plan properly.

The purpose of war is to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible with the least number of causalitiesโ€”and thereby achieve political ends.

Exactly, but that's something leftists refuse to understand.

Wouldn’t a proportional war just become a perpetual war? This is likely exactly what they want. If you can’t ramp things up and win, the fighting and profits will continue until someone runs out of ammunition, people, or both.

“Proportional” refers to an attack’s enemy combatant/enemy civilian death/injury ratios.

“Proportional” does not refer to any IDF/Gazan fighter death/injury ratio. It is perfectly OK for the IDF to kill 100 Jihadists in an attack and not suffer a single loss itself.

If the IDF can spot a Jihadist, so can a Gazan civilian. Gazan civilians should be aware of what the IDF will do to Jihadists and stay far away from them.

"A proportional response is the only principled and moral way for civilized countries to wage war and it is extremely important to all of mankind."

Proportional? The last thing one wants to do is have a “fair” fight.

STALEMATE. Endless killing with nothing resolved and no outcome. I can see why the RAT politicians think war should be “proportional.”

As usual, VDH hits the nail on the head.
