Winning the Moral High Ground is a Loser's Game

If terrorism is a game, the rules are simple.

You have three choices. 1. Destroy the terrorists. 2. Live with terrorism. 3. Give in to the terrorists. 

We are dealing with savages. Seeking the moral high ground is a fool’s quest. We can’t go to war with soldiers that are more afraid of shooting than of being shot at.

The Israeli military disrupt missions against Hamas when in the radar they observe the presence of women and children.

The Israeli military calls the families of Palestinian neighbors of terrorists shortly before launching a raid.

The Israeli military evacuate entire Palestinian areas before an operation, with good manners, not with the nerve gas, like Assad in Syria, or phosphorus, like the Americans in Iraq.

Israeli soldiers heal Palestinians in Gaza in the Jewish hospitals.

The IDF is the only army which employed unprecedented efforts meant to minimize injury to non-combatants, including warning leaflets, phone calls, and non-lethal warning fire.
