took me to publish this post because I wanted to choose carefully the words that I refer to the myth of the "disproportion" in Israel's military actions in Gaza. But the French philosopher Andre Glucksmann saved me the effort, in an article published nearly three days in the French newspaper Le Monde. And recognizing him their credit, I draw some fragments that are fully consistent with what I wanted to present:
What does "disproportionate"? Andre Glucksmann
(...) 06/01/2009
"The avalanche of opinions is governed by unconditional condemnation, a priori, of excess judía.Consultemos the first dictionary to hand is what is disproportionate out of proportion, either because the ratio does not exist, either because it has broken, has been transgressed. This second meaning is used to castigate Israel's reprisals, which are considered excessive, inconsistent, contradictory, exceeding the limits and standards. The understatement is perhaps that there is a normal state in the conflict between Israel and Hamas and the IDF militarism (the IDF) as unbalanced, as if the conflict is not, as all serious conflict-disproportionately from its origins.
What is the right proportion to be observed that Israel has a favorable rating? What the Israeli army does not use its technical superiority and just use the same weapons as Hamas, that is, the war of inaccurate Grad missiles, stones, the strategy of suicide attacks at will, the human bombs and selection civilians deliberately targeted?
Or, better yet, That Israel should "wait patiently for Hamas, with Iran and Syria," balance "its firepower? Unless you try to balance not only military means, but the purpose intended. Since Hamas-against the Palestinian Authority insists on not recognizing the right of existence of the Jewish state with annihilation and dreams of its citizens, Israel would we want to imitate that radicalism and proceed to a massive ethnic cleansing? Do you really want Israel reflects "proportionally" the lust killers of Hamas? "
