The goal should not be just to win, it should be to win while not giving up those grander things we were fighting for beyond survival.

That’s why I think we should lean on Israel if they do something “wrong” even if it might comparatively “less wrong” than what their opponents are doing.

I think it’s a lot easier to armchair quarterback when it wasn’t my aunt or uncle who was shredded in the latest blast.

I’m not saying carte blanche. But few organizations are as blatantly and inhumanly disingenuous as Israel’s enemies. I stoutly believe that we’re kidding ourselves if we think that a good example can be set that those of Hamas’ ilk will follow. Rather, this is about what a nation’s conscience can endure as it strives to protect its citizens.
