Cal Thomas on Hamas and its terrorist cousins
Cal Thomas: “Instead, THE MORE ISRAEL CONCEDES, THE MORE VIOLENCE IT GETS. At some point you might think people would say, ‘this isn’t working’ and try another approach, such as striking back in a manner that would not simply stop the present threat, but persuade Hamas and the others that there is no benefit in their continued aggression.”
Cal Thomas: “Iran is behind Hamas, supplying it with rockets, some of which are made in Russia, and with other weapons. The goal of the Obama administration ought not to be ‘peade,’ per se. Peace is like happiness: a byproduct of something else.Israel’s goal should be peace through strength. The U.S. should commit to building up Israel, militarily and diplomatically, as a deterrent to Israel’s enemies, many of whom also hate and wish to destroy America.”
Cal Thomas: “Israel already has given up too much. EVERY CONCESSION HAS BEEN MET WITH MORE WAR. It is time to finish the job. No more delays; no more cease-fires or truces, WHICH MERELY ALLOW HAMAS NOW (and Hezbollah before) TO DIG NEW TUNNELS AND SMUGGLE IN REINFORCEMENTS AND MORE WEAPONS WITH WHICH THEY KILL MORE ISRAELI CIVILIANS.”
