It’s not preemptive in the context of ten months of missile attacks.

I am not the one calling it preemptive, Israel is. But your point is taken.

Since the formation of the state of Israel, its destruction and the murder of Jews by its enemies has never ceased and never will, until all the Jews are murdered. The enemies of Israel have told them so. They will never release the hostages even if their absurd demands are met. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Plan accordingly. Act accordingly.

I also agree that the negotiating about the hostages is useless. Hamas is never going to let them go. Their aim is to have the US and the west put pressure on Israel to stop their campaign. Hamas knows that the west is basically useless. Israel needs to do what she needs to do.

This is the best 2 minute read summation of the a large part of Karl Popper’s “The Open Society and It’s Enemies” ever! If you read EKB’s article and haven’t read Popper and you’re not scared then that must be why. , Then read (really READ and reread) and you’ll get there.

(Could we use the horrible UN to make that book mandatory for all policy makers in the world? ;0))

Thanks so much for the compliment. I have never read Popper. Never heard of him in fact until now. But you have me intrigued.
