Threats: As a somber anniversary nears, "proportional response" has replaced "victory" in the lexicon of war. But no nation facing an existential threat should apologize for winning or for saving the lives of its own people.
The other day Navi Pillay, the United Nations' high commissioner for human rights, after a meeting of the U.N.'s Geneva-based Human Rights Council, said that Israel, despite dropping leaflets, dummy bombs and even sending text messages and using social media to warn citizens in Gaza, was not doing enough to protect civilians — and "international law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes."
Among a litany of Israeli sins, Pillay even said that Israel's refusal to share its Iron Dome missile-defense technology with Gaza's "governing authority," otherwise known as the terrorist group Hamas, constituted a war crime, since it meant that Israeli citizens weren't dying in proportional numbers.
"No such protection has been provided to Gazans against the shelling," she said.

If attacked by idiots, a country should respond with a massive, unfair, and egregious response. Followed by a note which says, "Don't try that again, or we'll get angry. You won't like us when we're angry."
Proportional response is a concept which was invented by losers who start fights they know they can't win. Which is why they need to be severely slapped down with no mercy at all.
Everyone's a comedian. Slime humor isn't funny though.

I’m all for a proportional response....
There are 1.5 billion mudslimes, and only 8 million Israelis. If one Israeli is killed by Hamas, then 187 Palies should die.
I’m all for a proportional response....
Sadly Damascus will probably be flattened in response.
No, what’s stupid was Israel giving up land that they won in 1967 fair and square, under the false pretenses of “peace” and “Palestinian homeland.”
Among a litany of Israeli sins, [Navi] Pillay even said that Israel's refusal to share its Iron Dome missile-defense technology with Gaza's "governing authority," otherwise known as the terrorist group Hamas, constituted a war crime, since it meant that Israeli citizens weren't dying in proportional numbers.
I think this just about says it all: According to the politically correct left, wars are not supposed to be won anymore. Rather, they are supposed to be engaged in--if at all--in a "proportionate" manner...
How stupid does a human have to be, to hang around where Hamas launches it’s rockets from???
Well, WE shared out atomic bomb secrets with Germany during World War II...
and the land god has given them. I think the promise includes all the way round to iraq.
wow never heard that one. I know we took von Braun’s rocket tech but nothing on sharing the nuke stuff. post some evidence.
you missed the /sarc tag
You can't make this stupid stuff up.
Does he believe FDR is the greatest war criminal of all, followed closely by Harry Truman? Because that's what his calculus says.
"Among a litany of Israeli sins, Pillay even said that Israel's refusal to share its Iron Dome missile-defense technology with Gaza's "governing authority," otherwise known as the terrorist group Hamas, constituted a war crime, since it meant that Israeli citizens weren't dying in proportional numbers."
No, we didn't share information with Germans in World War II... Next time I'll be more careful to inclue the "/s"... sorry 'bout that...kvanbrunt
