Israel is becoming a bit excessive. Horrors stacked upon horrors only makes things worse. Where does it end? In extermination camps? Kill every single person in Gaza? Why not use a neutron bomb? poison the water? Use poison gas? Or the tried and true put all to the sword? The bad thing—what does this do to the Israelis? What does it do to those who do the killings? Do the Jews wish to become Nazis? There must be another way.
Take all Hamas reports of Palestinian casualties, divide by 10 or 20 and you may have a number that approaches reality.
“There must be another way.”
And the other way is what?
Keep Hamas in power so they can continue terrorizing you?
What would you do if your neighbor wants you gone was constantly lobbying molotov cocktails at your house and the cops were no where to be found, or incapable of making them stop?
Let me please add that the Israelis are a peaceful people unless attacked. Palestinians are not fit to be called “Human Beings”
It gets harder and harder to put up with nitwits like the author...
There are no Palestinians. Palestine was a term coined by the ancient Romans to resemble the names of the even more ancient (and extinct) Philistines to show the Jews who were in charge.
There right, why kill 200 for the sake of 4? They should have killed 2000 for each hostage.
Satan could never marry Reason, though he has tried to court that wily old girl many times. So he has to settle for the prostitute that we call...Reasonableness!
How many Japanese died for their attack on Pearl Harbor?
Two to three million.
Take hostages, get dead.
How reasonable? In terms of simple math? Or in terms of Humanity?
“There must be another way.”
Name it.
Or pound sand.
Who are they?
"Open Society Foundations (OSF), formerly the Open Society Institute, is a US-based grantmaking network founded by business magnate George Soros."
If they are “my” four, and ‘your’ 200….I would make that trade any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
In hindsight, does anyone thing that the four would have been “released” without bloodshed? Nope.
Killing 200 terrorists/supporters to save 4 kidnapped innocents seems a good deal all around.
Why the dumb question?
Kill ‘em all and let God sort it out.
It IS reasonable to kill and destroy until you win a war against the aggressor who started the war. If the aggressor is “tired” of war, they should surrender completely. Otherwise...game on.
I don’t think you’re looking ahead. For years the moral dilemma has raged on about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 200,000 innocent civilians died yet reasonable people. agree that had the US not ended the war with those atomic bombs 30 million more people could have died. Including US soldiers.
Looking at the big picture these 200 lives might just save 2000 or even 20,000 innocent lives later on.
In any event, blaming Israelf as being excessive as you claim is completely, utterly, and extremely foolish. This is all on Hamas.
