Proportionality; a weak-minded liberal construct

'DISPRPORTIONATE' is the Left's way of seeking to justify Hamas's terrorist aggression toward Israeli civilians. Nick Clegg has been first off the mark to accuse Israel of a disproportionate response to the 1500 missiles arbitrarily fired into Israel without any consideration for Israeli civilian deaths over the past ten days.
            
            War is, and can never be proportionate. If you are attacked you reply with whatever force is available to you. It can be argued that the allied bombing of German cities was disproportionate, in terms of those killed, to the bombs dropped on English cities by the Germans – and it was thankfully this disproportionality that helped keep our democracy safe.
           
            Churchill believed that if a nation is attacked then war becomes total, and you do whatever you can to defeat your aggressor and bring the war to a close as quickly as possible. Disproportionality is a liberal construct. What they mean in the case of Israel is that the Israelis should shut down Iron Dome to make the contest more equal – a kind of equality, not under law, but under war.
           
             If those 1500 indiscriminately targeted Hamas missiles had been allowed through to do their worse, and kill on a parity with the bombs being dropped on Gaza; then, no doubt, Nick Clegg and the thousands of pro-Palestinians existing within the liberal compass, would have been satisfied…or would they?
            
             Hamas, unlike Israel, have no aircraft to bomb Israel with. They also have no tanks, or underground shelters to protect their civilians. So the logic of the Clegg disproportionality argument is that Israel should abandon all these military devices that give them a disproportionate military advantage over Hamas – or, on the other hand, Israel should supply Hamas with their own Iron Dome system to make things more equitable. Would that help Mr Clegg?
            
             I have noticed that whenever Hamas starts such an aggression (and they always start it) the liberals remain silent; silent that is until Israel responds. Then the disproportionality argument is deployed, and the BBC's porno-journalists cannot get their cameras into Gaza fast enough to show blood curdling images of Palestinian women and children on stretchers and wrapped in bandages with a BBC film crew by their bedside: which Hamas are all too willing to use for their own propaganda purposes.
            
            The BBC are pro-Palestinian, and there has been no attempt at impartiality. The corporation itself commissioned a report into accusations of such bias known as the Balen Report which was commissioned in 2006 and named after Malcolm Balen, the BBC's senior editorial advisor which to this day has never been released; while the BBC has spent some £300,000 of British taxpayer's money on legal fees to keep it out of the public arena.

HAMAS USES its citizens as shields, hoping that Israel will make a mistake to far in its targeting, and kills enough civilian Palestinians to cause such an outrage in the Western media, that Washington, the EU, and the UN, will pressure Netanyahu into another retreat until the next time, because there will be a next time: by which time the Hamas missiles will be more sophisticated; sophisticated enough to reach even further, and become more accurate; and even out-sophisticate what Israel can produce in response.
            
            This conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is not about the equal division of territory; but the annihilation of the Jewish state and its people. Hamas openly acknowledges this. They do not believe in any kind of 'two state solution', only in ridding the land that is now Israel of the Jews.
            
            Stop and think for one moment. If Militant Islamic groups like ISIS are fully prepared to slaughter fellow Muslims in Iraq. What then do you think would happen to the Jews of Israel if they were ever to become overwhelmed by their many enemies throughout the Arab world - not only among Hamas?
            
            Nick Clegg is intellectually corrupt; but he is not alone among his kind. They are all besotted with Palestinian 'victimhood', and their hatred of Israel borders on anti-Semitism, disguised as anti-Zionism.

THE UN, America, Europe, and the UK; all regard Hamas as a terrorist organisation. Objectively speaking it cannot be denied. One dictionary definitions is; "The calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence)against civilians in order to attain ggoals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this isdone through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear."  This definition fits perfectly into the UN's and the West's definition; thus does Hamas qualify.
           
            But I would like to add to that definition by including the following. The calculated use of a civilian population as human shields; the calculated use of civilian homes to store missiles in; the calculated use of civilian homes from which hundreds of tunnels are begun in order to enter Israel and terrorise civilians; the calculated use of hospitals as hiding places for terrorist leaders; and finally, the calculated use of a willing and supportive Western media for propaganda purposes – Yet, the likes of Nick Clegg still witter on about disproportionality.
           
            According to the Israeli press; since Israel's incursion began 13 tunnels and 3,000 rockets have been discovered; which has led Benjamin Netanyahu to warn that the incursion may become broader in its ambition to destroy  the tunnels. Meanwhile the JTA[1] has reported the condemnation by the United Nations Relief and Work Agency of Hamas, following the discovery of 20 rockets in one of its schools on the Gaza Strip.

            Proportionality is for those delicate blooms who live safe lives in their Islington quarters who can comment from afar without the fear of a missile tapping on their front door. These bourgeoisie liberals are Hamas's useful idiots who hold influence in the media and are biased in favour of a terrorist organisation.
             
            Israelis will hopefully defy their Western critics and continue to try and rid their land of the threat from missiles and tunnel incursions into Israel like the one attempted last week; which, if had proved successful, would lead the deaths of countless Jewish civilians of every gender and age.  
            
            Hamas must be defeated and those so-called Western friends of Israel had better brace their spines and openly give unconditional support for Israel as presumably they would any democratic country defying a terrorist organisation -  Its over to you Obama.
