And the point of taking hostages is to use them as leverage. How do you stop that? Accept they are dead and exterminate the hostage takers. If Israel does not, they will have to live with these tactics forever.

That is war. The only way you stop this sort of barbarism is with unrestrained violence. The West has gotten soft over the last 80 years. They though they could hide behind their nuclear shield and fight “limited wars”. This is what a war for survival looks like. It is as brutally ugly as it can get.

Ironically, that was probably the good thing about the Iraq War. Maybe the reasoning was not all that sound. I get it. But everyone gets it. Uncle Sam likes to go around the block and rough some folks up if he feels like it. So we need to be like that.

But now we have Joe Biden. The word is our on the weak. Uncle Sam is now weak.

Are there not many Palis living in Jerusalem?
They should be taken into custody and treated the same as the Israeli hostages.

THERE was a reason why TRUMAN dropped the bombs in Japan.
