I think the single greatest improvement that Israel can make for its people, its security, and yes, its morality, is to STOP caring about what America and the rest of the world thinks about it.
Case in point: supporters of Israel have been saying how heroic Israel is because its risks the lives of its own soldiers by making them go into Gaza in order to warn civilians that an airstrike is imminent. Don't get me wrong, I like hearing Ted Cruz saying how wonderful is because it does this or that for its enemies. When the allies bombed Dresden, it did so to break the German's spirit, which it did.
Israel could have eliminated Hamas any time it wanted. And they could have done the entire job in a matter of hours. But because Netanyahu and others have such a slave mentality, and it wants the approval of countries who would never approve of Israel no matter what it did, they are prolonging this war unnecessarily, and over 50 IDF soldiers have been killed needlessly.
I remember hearing Rabbi Kahane say during a debate, that when his son serves in the army he wants to know that his CO cares more about his son's safety than he does about the Arabs who dream of bringing a holocaust of hatchets and knives.
The bottom line is this: Israel has to look after its own interest, not its enemies' interests. Israel needs to stop trying to impress other countries by how noble it is. Hamas hides its rockets in schools, hospitals, and mosques. They do this in order to maximize civilian casualties. And it works. It makes the media and world leaders hate Israel even more than they do usually.
So Israeli leaders say that they care more about saving "Palestinians" than Hamas does. Why is that a noble thing, especially when you risk the lives of Jewish soldiers to do it? It only sounds stupid to me. The way I see it, the blood of every soldier killed while trying to save the lives of Israel's enemies, is on the head of every Israeli leader who sees risking the lives of Jewish soldiers in order to protect Israel's enemies as a moral imperative.
I hear Israel's supporters say, "See how good Israel is? No other country in the world would risk the lives of its own soldiers in order to protect the lives of its enemies!" Of course no other country would do that. Because as Rabbi Kahane used to say, it's because those other countries are normal.
In sum, I want to see Israel wipe out Hamas for good. And if that means that innocent civilians will die, well, they brought it upon themselves by electing Hamas in the first place. It's time Israel started behaving like God is on their side, and make a point to all the Arab and Muslim countries that are watching the events in Gaza very carefully. That point is, that if you attack us, we will kill you, quickly and thoroughly.
I'm sure my viewpoint would be roundly condemned by Alan Dershowitz and the Israeli Left, which is probably a good indication that I've taken the moral position.
I'd be curious to know what some of you think about this.
