You have to admire Israel and Netanyahu in all of this. Virtually the entire world is demanding that they stand down, but they continue to carry on this fumigation of Hamas and its allies, oblivious to the media, the Euroweenies, and even the US State Department. At some point I would expect Israel to bow to the pressure, but appeasement has gotten the Israeli people nowhere. When appeasement fails, there is no choice but war, and when war is on the table there should be no option but all out victory. This is the lesson we Americans have failed to learn. Our politicians seem to think that war is now some sort of negotiation. It is not. War should never be contemplated except in the most extreme circumstances, and it should never be waged for any purpose except complete destruction of the enemy.
Truman was our last president who understood what the purpose of war is. Maybe Truman's legacy is tarnished by the fact that he used nukes, but between what we did to Hiroshima, Nagaski and Dresden you never saw any resurgence of war fever in Japan and Germany. The same with the old south in the USA after Sherman and Grant were done with them. And that is why, so long as resistance is encountered, Gaza has to be laid to waste, unfortunately. That said, this is not our war and the USA should not be involved in it. We should definitely not be increasing our aid, or telling Israel when they need to cease fire.
It is a very, very ugly business but the very existence of an orderly civilization requires it.
