    Israel’s proportionate response

    Defining Victory for Israel by Michael Gerson in the Washington Post explains how Israel’s response is justified and not “disproportionate”.

    The goal of military action, when unavoidable, is not to take one life in exchange for each one unjustly taken; this is mere vengeance. The goal is to remove the conditions that lead to conflict and the taking of life. So far, Israel’s actions have been proportionate to this objective.

    In the final days of the Bush administration the US is supporting Israel’s military action to ensure that rockets and mortars are longer launched from Gaza. Meanwhile, Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser for the Carter administration, seems to think that peace can be achieved without requiring the Palestinian militants to stop their attacks.
