i dont get the numbers game that everyone seems so intent on playing.
Lets put it simply: If masked psychopaths were trying to kill your family, how many of them would you kill? How many psychos is your mother worth? your spouse? your children?
If you ask me, the answer is all of them. I would kill 100,000,000 murderers before I would let them kill my family or I.
The point is, your life and the lives of your dear are worth an infinite number of lives of those that are trying to kill you.
Israel would be justified in killing the entire population of Arabs living in the Gaza, if that was what it would take to save one Jewish mother, father, daughter or son.
That is the appropriate response (protecting your own at any cost).
Unfortunately the Arabs are willing to sacrifice hundreds of their own just to kill one Jew (as is displayed in their demands for prisoner swaps – apparently one Jewish body is worth 1000 living Arabs. Cant say that I disagree).
The middle east war will end the instant Arabs value their own lives more than they value killing a Jew.
