Common refrains we hear are "Israel has the right to defend itself, but that it is inflicting collective punishment in Gaza" and that Israel's responses need to be "proportionate". I challenge anyone to explain how either statement can actually be applied to the current situation. The first responsibility of any state is to protect its citizens. If that conflicts with these two rules then the rules need to be modified to suit the circumstances. Unfortunate and uncomfortable conclusions for moral people but what choice is there?
In todas Intelligenser there is an interview which purports to present the Hamas side but is in fact so out of touch with reality as to bedangerous.But no one cnfronts the Arab on his facts let alone his oinions.
