Disproportionality Explained

...as a doctrine in International Law, not as a talking point for hysterical leftists. To hear the left talk about this point of law, one would have to believe that it serves to limit any conflict to a never ending blood fued, a mindless tit for tat in which no one is ever allowed to get the upper hand and actually eliminate the threat altogether. If, in raining down thousands of missiles on us you kill one of mine, I'm only allowed to kill one of yours. That, my dear friends, is utter balderdash. What proportionate means, is that the response should not be excessively over and beyond what is necessary to get the job done. In the case of this crisis, that means Hamas must be totally crushed and likely would include the total crushing of its masters in Tehran as well. For the life of me, I don't know why the regime in Iran has been allowed to exist for so many, many years.
