Israel Has Right & Obligation to Defend Border with Deadly Force

One of the enduring mysteries of modern political discourse is the way in which smart people - who are not remotely anti-Semitic - impose curious, unworkable double standards on the nation of Israel.

Hamas - which rules Gaza - rejects Israel's right to exist and remains in a state of perpetual, declared war with Israel.

Every reasonably informed person knows that Hamas has a long history of using human shields, including women and children, to drum up international sympathy and deceive gullible foreign critics into believing that Israel is using lethal force against peaceful protestors who merely seek a peaceful resolution to an intractable conflict.

What would you have Israel do when thousands of people march on the border, some armed, some not? What would you have Israel do when you know that terrorists are certainly mixed in that crowd, people who'd gladly shoot or stab Israeli civilians if they were ever to gain access to Israeli towns?

Hamas, to its very core, believes that Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state.

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and it will be the capital of Israel in any peace settlement.

The only way Jerusalem will not be the Israeli capital is that Israel ceases to exist.
