Different kinds of wars require different kinds of tactics.

You really can’t compare the situation with the Palestinians to the situation in the American Civil War.

Rome pulled that trick off with Carthage, razing the city to the ground, killing all the men and selling the women and children into slavery.

But that was a different era of humanity, and Israel does not occupy the military or political position that Rome did.

I just started off comparing the situation with the supply ships to Gaza with the attempt to send supplies to Fort Sumter. And said that I did not want to stretch the analogy too far. It has already ripped and is gushing ugly like oil from a ruptured sea well…
