Ask the Englishmen who witnessed the bombing of London by the Germans V2 missiles during World War 2. The English and the Americans responded by sending thousands of bombers on a daily basis and turned German cities into rubble and killing over million civilians in order to save their own people. How many American lives were saved when the United States dropped an Atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
How about the IRA killing the British indiscriminately. The British responded to the IRA terrorist activities with extreme force for over 50 years, world opinion be dammed.
The Israeli government is under the same predicament. They have an obligation to protect its population and bring security to its people, anything less is a dereliction of duty.
“There is an attitude [among the government of Israel] of servitude to world opinion to the detriment of self-preservation! This attitude was witnessed by the world during the many wars with the Arabs, when Arab soldiers were shooting and shelling from inside their mosques and the Israeli army was ordered not to shoot back because the politicians were more concerned about world opinion. This immoral policy caused many more Jewish soldiers to, unnecessarily, lose their lives! (This is precisely why those fighters went to the mosques to begin with; they appreciated the Israeli government’s slavish reliance on world opinion.)” The very same attitude is used by Hamas utilizing Hospitals and Mosques as launching sites of missile and other terrorist activities, utilizing children as human shields.
It is time for Israel to shed this chip on their shoulder of pacifying world opinion and fight with everything they have, no holds barred and the hell with world opinion, the world at large and especially the great powers who have oil interests in the Arab world will criticize Israel no matter what action they take.
