The U.N., many so called leftists and progressives and others condemn Israel for how it wages war, and most recently, for how Israel responded to Hamas and Islamic Jihad rocket attacks.
They have no answer for how Israel should respond to rocket and missile attacks other than to insist Israel should not exist at all.
When Hamas, Islamic Jihad or another organization fires rockets from civilian areas, what is it that the U.N. and others suggest should be the response?
How can war be waged against an enemy that entrenches itself amongst civilian populations?
How many Hamas and Islamic Jihad rockets and missiles fell short and landed on the civilian population they hide behind?
War in and of itself is a crime against humanity. This does not stop the glorification of war and the martyrdom that many jihadists seek. How can war be fought against organizations and nations that openly proclaim their love for war, death and martyrdom, no matter how many civilians are harmed on all sides?
How do you fight an enemy that uses civilians as shields?
The U. N. has no answers. The so called leftists and progressives have no answers. The anti-Israel crowd has no answer. They retreat to their stand by position - there should not be an Israel to begin with, or it should be made indefensible, so it is okay to seek Israel's destruction and not okay for Israel to defend itself against its own destruction and the genocide that many seek.
This is not about choosing one side or the other. It is recognizing the destructive trajectory that still can be stopped.
There will be other wars and more innocent lives lost if the violent extremists have the upper hand. Moderation is being lost. No one is winning these wars. Unless sanity prevails, wars will continue, and they will escalate in ferocity and in the number of people killed, maimed and crippled.
