‘Proportionality’
The call for proportionality in warfare is a relatively new concept, called for primarily by the progressives of the loony left, the woke media and the moronic apologists for Islam. It is most usually requested when one side in a conflict is superior to the other and is consequently, likely to win.
It is always called for when innocent members of countries, or western military forces, are attacked by fanatics inspired by the death cult of Islam. Thus it was, that following the terrorist attack on October 7th by the religiously inspired maniacs of Hamas upon the innocent civilians of Israel there came the predictable demand from the media and anti-Semites that the Israeli response should be proportionate. What does this mean exactly?
Does it mean that the Israeli military should have crossed into Gaza and brutally murdered around one thousand five hundred men, women, children, decapitated babies, raped young girls and women, slaughtered cats and dogs and taken over two hundred Palestinian hostages back to be incarcerated in some hellish underground tunnel? I think not!
What those calling for a proportionate response really want, is to limit the ability of Israel to properly defend itself and achieve victory against a vile, terrorist, Islamic death cult. The members of which, if ever allowed to win in their desire to kill every Jew in Israel would then inevitably, turn their attention to wiping out all infidels and focus their efforts upon destroying all the achievements and values of western civilisation.
The call for proportionality in warfare is always a plea for evil to triumph. It is a demand that should never be advocated as it would forever prevent victory for the morally superior cause.
In all cases of conflict where a victim makes a response to an attack the question should never be ‘was the response proportionate?’ but, ‘was the response justified?’
For example: completely unprovoked a tiny Chihuahua attacks and bites a Rottweiler causing a small wound. The Rottweiler responds and bites the Chihuahua causing instant death. Was the response proportionate? No! Was the response justified? Absolutely!
Those calling for proportionality in Israel’s response to one of the most heinous and barbaric attacks in their history should be challenged by all of us who value freedom and the right of all democratic countries to live in peace.
Just consider: if tomorrow, Israel were to lay down all its weapons and refuse to defend itself, the result would be the total annihilation of all Jews in Israel and the destruction of the Jewish State. If tomorrow, Hamas were to lay down all its arms and refuse to engage in any form of violence towards Israel the result would be peace.
This fact alone is sufficient to prove that there is no moral equivalence between the actions and intention of Israel and the actions and intentions of Hamas. And all people should consider very carefully which side in this conflict they should be supporting.
