Proportionate Response
Israel has been hit daily by attacks from Hamas Islamists. Naturally the left and the Israel-haters have had nothing at all to say about it.
As Melanie Phillips said:
Now that Israel has (once again) had enough and responded (mainly by killing a mass murdering terrorist), standby for endless wailing about their "disproportionate response".
For most of those obsessed with demonising Israel, any response at all (other than Jews quietly dying) is considered disproporionate. However thanks to Hamas, we know exactly what the correct balance is.
Hamas offered to release captured Israeli Gilad Shalit in exchange for 1,027 Palestinian prisoners.
So there you have it.
As Melanie Phillips said:
Rocket attacks on Israelis are not news; Israeli military action to defend Israel against such attacks is.Read it all.

You should have heard ones of the old kugels at my work go off her tree when the prisoner exchange for Shalit was done.
"They should machine gun dead every single one (Palestinian prisoners)"
"Get him home (Shalit) and then bomb the busses (of the Palestinian prisoners)"
Being a curious kinda guy and not knowing anything about Gilad Shalit I asked her what this was all about and she gave me the background from her perspective.
She told me about how at all chosen one community events here in OZ that they had a policy of "save a seat for Gilad" meaning that a chair would be left deliberately empty with the placecard "Gilad Shalit".
I actually thought that was a nice token gesture.
Its a pity that he isn't a bit more of a muscular handsome bloke, he would make a great Israeli Propaganda poster boy.
Regardless of that, I am glad that he has been released.
Time for peace fellas, get on with the two state solution.
Many of the 1027 Palestinians released, were responsible for murdering 569 Israeli civilians.
So in actual fact one Israeli is worth about a thousand worthless scumbags. Assuming one worthless murderer is equal to say 500 well-behaved individuals, it would seem that an ordinary Israeli is worth about 500,000 Palestinians. Now before you call me a raaacist that's just using Hamas' own calculations
Using the Judea and Samaria Council of Rabbis edict that the lives of 1000 non Jews aren't equal to that of a Jewish fingernail, whats the calculation now?
