The term “Proportional response” is BS. If a bully slaps you, are you just going to slap him back or are you going to take him out? “Proportional response” is used by politicians to drag out a conflict and nothing more. Would we use “Proportional response” if we were attacked by Mexico or Canada? I don’t think so. If you shoot at me with a .22, I will come back at you with the biggest weapon I own.....simple as that. We need to stop kidding ourselves.

Precisely.

The "Proportionality Doctrine" does nothing but prolong the conflict and extend the suffering.

If one side can decisively win the conflict quickly, it should be done. Medea Benjamin, Hollywood, the U.N., most Democrats, and other anti-semite, anti-American, pro-terrorist entities be damned.
