War is hell and Israel’s response should not be directed by Hamas sympathizers screaming their talking points.

From 1stSgt (Ret) Jim Reisinger (USMC):
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, it is all because your tactics suck.
The quote above is one of the most profound maxims for uniformed combat military members in service to our nation. Engaging with the enemy is not about having a fair or proportionate contest; it is about crushing them and their will. Austrian General Carl Von Clausewitz asserted:
War is the imposition of your will upon the enemy.
This is why the rhetoric about “proportionate response” when it comes to the sovereign nation of Israel defending itself is absurd.
Watching the international community express grief and sorrow concerning the savage, brutal, and heinous assault upon Israel on October 7, 2023, is disconcerting when that sentiment quickly fades as soon as Israel takes to the offense in defense of their right to exist.
This past two-plus weeks, the talk about “ceasefire” and “pause” has been absurd. Over the past 18 years since Israel departed the Gaza strip—yes, under Ariel Sharon in 2005—how many times have we heard demands of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or the other Islamic terrorist/jihadist groups to take a pause or ceasefire? The ongoing progressive socialist leftists calls for these actions, along with a “proportionate response” are ludicrous.
Even Barack Obama, back in June of 2008, once quipped:
If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.
Yes, that is how the left defines a “proportionate response.” If you marched on Capitol Hill on January 6th against the left, you were sent to the D.C. Gulag. But, if you march on Capitol Hill in support of an Islamic terrorist organization that just killed 30 Americans, the response is quite the opposite. It’s come to be called, ‘The two-tiered justice system.’
To wit, the progressive socialist leftists have their own version of Hitler’s Brown Shirts, the SA, called Antifa, roaming about attacking anyone—including law enforcement—who does not agree with these Marxists. And what about FBI raids against Antifa leaders? Nonsense. The real domestic terrorists in the United States, according to the left, are parents, Moms for Liberty, Christians, and now Jewish students. And there is no talk about the millions of single military-aged males who have crossed the border, some on the terrorist watch list.
Read the charter of Hamas and any of the derivative Islamic terrorist organizations spawned by the Muslim Brotherhood. They each call for the elimination and annihilation of the Jewish State and Jews. So, what is the “proportionate response” to an organization that is not protected by international rules of law or warfare, nor the Geneva Convention, that rapes and murders young women, kills entire families, and beheads babies? Are these indiscriminate killers a legitimate target for the Israelis? Only an idiot fails to realize that Hamas and these Islamic jihadist groups care little for their own people. They use the people as human shields and propaganda pieces. This is why the Geneva Convention is harsh against non-state, non-uniformed belligerents on the battlefield because they endanger civilian lives intentionally.
The Israeli Defense Force has created a high operational tempo (OPTEMPO), and it is meant to drive the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas to its knees. These leftist terrorist sympathizers should shut up, [because] they are exposing themselves as accomplices.
At this point, the only “proportionate response” for Israel is the total removal of all Islamic terrorist/jihadist groups and their state sponsors. Anything less must include the unconditional surrender of the same and Israel imposing their will upon their enemies.
NOTE: After Pearl Harbor, America did not seek a “proportionate response.” America sought total and complete victory and the imposition of our will upon our enemies. Our strategic, operational, and tactical maneuvers and operations were not about tit for tat. General George Patton did not seek to slow down once unleashed in the European theater of war. And we used the most powerful weapon known to man in the Pacific theater rather than risk losing more Americans.
Only idiots and those who have never been on a battlefield believe in a “proportionate response” in war. As Union General William Tecumseh Sherman said, “War is hell.” That hell should be directed to Hamas after the atrocities they have mercilessly committed.
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified that our homeland is once again under a severe terrorist attack threat. Thank God We the People have the Second Amendment, because we can be damn certain the likes of Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris do not intend to protect us.
It will be, as Maximus said in the movie Gladiator, ‘At my signal, unleash hell!’ That will be the American response.
God speed to We the People and may God bless all.
