re: #267 Obdicut

Sharon is talking about how crazy we (Israelis) are for not ‘giving as good as we get’ - ‘turn the other cheek’ is not a Jewish principle. “If someone is coming to kill you, rise earlier than he and kill him” is.

The absurdities Sharon is pointing to - Israel supplying Gaza with water, electricity and food supplies while they fire-rockets at us, tiptoeing around their civilians instead of ‘flattening Gaza,’ which is a warlike response to warlike aggression - are real. If we acted “proportionately’ to Hamas violence, Gaza deserves to be a pancake.

I have to go to work for the next 4 hours. Feel free to pummel. I’ll be back.
