To the Death

Willis Eschenbach

As long as Israel is willing to leave Hamas in possession of and ruling over Gaza with the tunnels intact, it is guaranteeing hundreds or thousands of future Israeli deaths. Guaranteeing. No question.

However, getting them out will also involve thousands of deaths.

This is a very difficult issue because ALL ROADS LEAD TO BLOOD. I have no simple answer.

What do you do when your neighbors have sworn to kill you, your family, and all your friends, and your neighbors are actively doing their best to fulfill their sworn word?

What do you do when everyone in your country knows someone who was killed by the jihadis of the "Religion Of Peace", and the killing is continuing with no sign of an end?

What is the "proportional response" to endless disproportional murderous insanity?

Peace to everyone,

Tim adds:

I agree Willis; there will be blood, much of it innocent. Israel has no real choice though; they MUST treat this as war and see this throough to the end. It's bitter but if the Palestinians don't know they are beaten, feel it, understand it, this will simmer on and on and there will be repeat attacks. More lives will be lost with an armistice .

There comes a point when war is thrust upon someone and it has to be fought and won.

Yes, the hostages will probably be killed. But there is no way around that. The international community has repeatedly restrained Israel at times like these and the result has been seventy five years of endless warfare. Until there is a clear winner and clear loser this thing will burn and burn and burn.
