Question: How many civilians are you allow to kill to get one Hama?

I would like see Hamas effectively destroyed because (a) they are vicious terrorists, and (b) they oppose the two-state solution.

Hamas in Gaza are dug in under civilian cover; rooting them out will inevitably result in some "collateral damage". But how much is permissible? Give me a ratio: fewer than 1 civilian for 1 Hamas fighter? 1:1? 5:1? 10:1?

Israel has a record of "disproportionate response" in responding to Palestinian terrorist attacks and violent demonstrations. The fact is that we are seeing it again. 1400 Israelis died in Hamas' barbarous attack; in the Gaza bombardment and incursion >12,000 Gazans have died, (including 4500+ children). We are reaching the infamous 10:1 ratio.

Consider that in the long history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, Palestinians "haven't learned the lesson". Nor will they until there is a just resolution to the conflict.

Regarding WWII (for example), "area bombing" initiated by the British and eventually copied by the Americans was design, in official jargon, to destroy the homes of civilian workers. In result it destroyed a lot of homes also worker, but had minor effect on German war production. Today would be considered a war crime.

The American A-bombing of Japanese cities would likewise be considered a war crime today. It's only redemption was that it ended the war and saved the lives hundreds of thousands of Japanese and Allied troops who would have died in an invasion.

But again, Israel killing 14,000 Gazans is NOT going to end their conflict.


NOT the 51st state, eh!?!
