Questions...
An animated look at some real questions, instead of the usual rhetorical battle-cry.
Israeli forces are continuing to pound Gaza in the aftermath of the Hamas terror attack that sparked this latest round of fighting.
The war shows no signs of easing as millions of civilians desperately try to flee the bombing campaign in the Gaza Strip, which measures only 25 miles by 6 miles and is home to over 2 million people, half of who are children.
Thousands of children have been killed by Israel’s ham-fisted bombing campaign.
Precision strikes these are not.
Yes, Hamas is an evil terror organization. Yes, they started the latest round of war. Yes, they lurk amid the civilians of Gaza.
Yet a disproportionate response to an attack is not only against international law, it is just plain stupid from a tactical standpoint. (See: USA in Afghanistan and Iraq.)
Of course Israel has a right to defend itself (only a very few suggest otherwise).
A column by Perry Bacon, Jr. of the Washington Post put words to something I had been wondering: Is anyone really questioning Israel’s right to defend itself?
How about asking some real questions instead of continually relying on a rhetorical battle-cry?
