You talk about wiping out a complete civilisation in Gaza. I am not there but happy to assume that you are correct in the statement. My question to you is therefore what of it? Since when in human history wiping out a group of people that want to kill you is a human crime? At what point did we lose our right to protect ourselves actively from those who will happily repeat what they did on 7/10? And where is the border on what constitutes a “proper retaliation”. There is one law in life amd that is that the strong survives. Any weakness and the Islamist in Syria and Lebanon and even our “loving neighbours” in Egypt and Jordan with whom we have peace will join the party to wipe us out. And that is of course before what our best friends in Europe will do when that happens. Please don’t talk about what we do in Gaza when in France and Belgium killing Jews is still not a crime for which you are being punished properly nor is it a crime in UK to attack Jews and Israel so freely. We have no friends and if we don’t know to kill those who want to kill us then we really don’t deserve a home. Now stop crying and enjoy that you can sit back by the beach and enjoy an iced coffee because the army is doing his job.
