How and why are so many on the Far-Left opposing Israel retaliating against Gaza and giving a free pass to Hamas for killing hundreds of innocent civilians?
This passage right here; "The chilling and methodical depravity that stalked infants and the very old, as well as young people joyfully dancing at a music festival, was profoundly disturbing because it was both so purposeful and purposeless: An army of mass murders rampaged in search of victims targeted solely because they were Jews. No military objective, no strategic aim." Perfectly written and self-evidently accurate. At this moment in time, Israel must do that which it's heart is railing against; which is to exercise caution and restraint. Yes, they need to make Hamas pay, and to some extent they already have. But my fear is that if they go on a full on incursion into Gaza the general good will they have will much of the world will begin to fade, and turn into criticism. It's a very fine line they need to walk, because despite Israel's serious flaws, they're still the good guys in this scenario. I just hope that they have an appreciation about the delicate balance they need to pull off; I'm pulling for them to do it.

Agreed. Yet my fear is that, even if they're successful, something worse will rise from the ashes of Hamas.
