The Idiocy of the Theory of ‘Proportionate Response’: War is hell and it shouldn’t be directed by Hamas talking points; The Moral Duty to Destroy Hamas: Israel is entitled to do whatever it takes to uproot this evil, depraved culture that resides next to it

The Idiocy of the Theory of ‘Proportionate Response’:

War is hell and it shouldn’t be directed by Hamas talking points.

“If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, it is all because your tactics suck” — 1stSgt (Ret) Jim Reisinger (USMC).

The quote above is probably one of the most profound maxims I learned in my service to the nation in uniform. I also carry it with me to this day. Engaging with your enemy is not about having a fair or proportionate contest; it is about crushing them and their will. Austrian General Carl Von Clausewitz asserted, “War is the imposition of your will upon the enemy.”

This is why I find it abjectly absurd and ludicrous to hear the rhetoric about “proportionate response” when it comes to the sovereign nation of Israel defending itself. It is pretty disconcerting to watch the international community express grief and sorrow when Israel is attacked, especially after the savage, brutal, and heinous assault of October 7, 2023, while that sentiment quickly fades as soon as Israel takes to the offense in defense of their right to exist.

This past weekend, many of us pulled up in front of the television to watch or attend a college or professional football game in person. As we cheered for our favorite team if the opposition scored a field goal, we did not want our team to respond with a field goal; we wanted a touchdown. Are teams penalized for not showing a proportionate response? The Texas Rangers are the 2023 Major League Baseball World Series champions. They went into the top of the 9th inning ahead 1-0 and scored four runs in that inning to win against the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0. Did the umpires in that game tell the Rangers they could not score any more runs since Arizona had scored none? After all, the Rangers were ahead 1-0; there was no need for additional scoring.

Nah, we are not down with proportionate response regarding sporting events. Otherwise, we would be happy with tied contests.

Or how about this talk about “ceasefires” and “pause?” Over the past 18 years since Israel departed the Gaza strip — yes, under Ariel Sharon in 2005 — how many times have we heard demands of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or the other Islamic terrorist/jihadist groups to take a pause or ceasefire? It is rather interesting that the progressive socialist leftists are calling for these actions, along with a “proportionate response.” Yet, they are more than giddy to have dozens of armed FBI agents raid the homes of pro-life activists or a man over 70 years old named Roger Stone. Yeah, they really do pose a dire threat. Even Barack Obama, back in June of 2008, once quipped, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” Yeah, that is how the left defines a “proportionate response.” If you marched on Capitol Hill on January 6th against the left, you were sent to the DC Gulag. But, if you march on Capitol Hill in support of an Islamic terrorist organization that just killed 30 Americans, well, you get the point. —>READ MORE HERE

The Moral Duty to Destroy Hamas:

Israel is entitled to do whatever it takes to uproot this evil, depraved culture that resides next to it.

A mob of Islamist Arabs incited by Jew-hatred entered the town and killed as many Jews as they could find. They went door to door, broke into the homes of their victims, and slaughtered innocent men, women and children. These gangs raped, mutilated and tortured them while screaming “Kill the Jews!”

That was 94 years ago, on Saturday, Aug. 24, 1929, in Hebron. The picture is essentially the same, only that then the Arab riots that included this massacre ended with 133 Jews murdered. This time, it is several times as many, and we don’t know the final figure.

Given that the events are virtually the same, the question is: Why? There was no state of Israel in 1929. There were no “occupied” territories, no “settlers.” There was no “blockade.” No security fence, no checkpoints, nothing. If the excuses of today’s murderers did not exist at that time, what did exist? A deep, maniacal, murderous and utterly destructive hatred of Jews—the same essential factor operating today, to which all other excuses are subservient.

It has been the policy of the state of Israel not to show what its enemies do to its citizens. That both kept the victims’ dignity and prevented the demoralization of Israelis. But it also avoided letting the world see clearly what kind of threat Israelis were dealing with. What kind of true evil they are fighting against. Now that is clear. The videos showing mass murder; the kidnapping of children, elderly and women; the storming of a music festival to shoot and kill whatever person they could find; and the stories of rape, execution and utter destruction are there for the world to see.

These images and videos were propagated by the assassins themselves. They use them to show their strength and prove Israeli weakness. To demonstrate to the Palestinian Arab population that the Jews can be killed like flies. What does it say of a society that these monsters think this type of “propaganda” is a “good” way to mobilize the population? It screams of a deeply perverse and murderous culture, in love with death and destruction. It is the same culture that teaches toddlers to hate. The same society that pays wages to mass murderers and celebrates on the streets with sweets and shootings when Jews get killed. It is the culture that creates the types of monsters capable of the evil they themselves proudly show to the world through social media. —>READ MORE HERE
