What is a “proportionate” response to the murder of babies in their beds, some of them reportedly beheaded?
Or to the killing of another grandmother, and then posting the video of her death to her Facebook page so her family would see it?What could possibly be deemed “proportionate” to the hideous, gut-wrenching evil that Hamas terrorists inflicted on Israel on October 7?But it’s one that Israel must ask itself as it prepares to invade Gaza from land, air and sea.
Palestinian citizens inspect their home destroyed during Israeli raids in the southern Gaza Strip on October 16, 2023 in Khan Yunis, Gaza. Picture: Ahmad Hasaballah/Getty Images More than a million people died, Iraq became a breeding ground for IS and the spurious excuse for the war, that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, turned out to be a big, fat, credibility-slaying falsehood.There is no dispute that Hamas committed the terror attacks, because they have brazenly, repulsively boasted about it.
“You know you likely will have to clear every building, every floor, every room, every basement... this extensive tunnel system they’ve built... had months to prepare for this, they are as creative in the defence as they were in the attack... there are going to be fiendishly difficult ambushes — rooms rigged to blow up.”Palestinian authorities claim that more than 3,000 civilians have already been killed by Israeli air strikes since October 7.
I agree with those like President Biden and Prime Minister Sunak, who have expressed the need for urgent humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians who have suffered so much for so long.
