Senior Hamas officials in Gaza are hiding out in a "bunker" built by Israel, intelligence officials suspect: Many are believed to be in the basements of the Shifa Hospital complex in Gaza City, which was refurbished during Israel's occupation of the Gaza Strip.

Hamas is treating the people under its control as cannon fodder ... Why? To create camera fodder. It wants it's people killed to provide propaganda stories for its cause.

For pacifists who believe that all wars are immoral, Israel's self-defense operation against Hamas in Gaza is necessarily wrong. To such people we invoke the 18th-century philosopher Edmund Burke: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Confronted by a movement that amalgamates fascism with religious extremism and a genocidal platform, our moral imperative demands Jewish self-defense. Few of the voices slamming Israel for conducting an "immoral" war in Gaza are those of pacifists. Take Riyad Mansour, Mahmoud Abbas's man at the UN. He claimed on CNN that "3,000 Palestinians had been killed...

(According to another source there were also 50 Egyptian doctors ready to go into the Strip to help.) Since Dobbie and his audience had heard the repeated complaint from the people in Gaza that the hospitals were overwhelmed by the injured and desperately lacking in supplies, one would have expected the...

The right and wrong" of most conflicts between nations are not "black and white." Of course there are some exceptions. WWII, for example, was a case where it was easy to differentiate who the good guys and bad guys were. Despite the best efforts of the propagandists in the news media, in the PA (see clip above), American Terrorist groups such as CAIR, and in some of the EU governments, there is no moral ambiguity in this conflict. Israel is NOT occupying Gaza, Israel asked Hamas to extend the cease-fire, Hamas has been shooting rockets/mortars at Israeli innocents, and used...

Ambassador Dore Gold refutes the widespread accusations that Israeli response to Hamas rocket fire is disproportionate.

WASHINGTON -- There is no question -- none -- that Israel's attack on Hamas in Gaza is justified. No nation can tolerate a portion of its people living in the conditions of the London Blitz -- listening for sirens, sleeping in bomb shelters and separated from death only by the randomness of a Qassam missile's flight. And no group aspiring to nationhood, such as Hamas, can be exempt from the rules of sovereignty, morality and civilization, which, at the very least, forbid routine murder attempts against your neighbors. Israel's response has been criticized as "disproportionate," which betrays a misunderstanding of...
