Of course Maddy pretends that “
"I do think that the point has to be made that if rockets are being shot at Israel that Israel does has a right to defend itself, but the bottom line is a question of proportionality.”
Proportionality? As stated in the Hamas charter the Islamo-Terror-Fascists are interested in genocide against
As usual, you cannot learn anything from an American left lib. After 60 years of left Lib indoctrination in
First, just war must be waged by a properly instituted authority such as the state. (Proper Authority is first: represents the common good: which is peace for the sake of man's true end—God.)
Second, war must occur for a good and just purpose rather than for self-gain (for example, "in the nation's interest" is not just) or as an exercise of power. (Just Cause: for the sake of restoring some good that has been denied. i.e., lost territory, lost goods, punishment for an evil perpetrated by a government, army, or even citizen population.)
Third, peace must be a central motive even in the midst of violence. (Right Intention: an authority must fight for the just reasons it has expressly claimed for declaring war in the first place. Soldiers must also fight for this intention.)
So as not to go all John Walsh on you the bolded portion above is from Wikipedia. Walsh is the lying plagiarizing Dope Senator from MT who lifted 25% of his master’s paper without credit. But then if I was going to go all John Walsh on you, not only wouldn’t I cite Wiki I wouldn’t even give Aquinas credit for his principles. Just to close the loop, Walsh’s excuse for lying and cheating was that he was suffering from PTSD after two tours in
Is there no human condition or short coming that cannot be blamed on PTSD? I think we do servicemen a great disservice when every deviant behavior can be brushed away with, “You know he was in
PTSD is real. But not everyone has it.
Ooops, we slipped down a rabbit hole there. Back to proportionality and just war. It is the ITF that violate every single one of Aquinas’s principles. Hamas is not properly constituted, has no purpose other than self gain and is in no way interested in peace with
Last word on proportionality in war. I always thought the goal of war is to inflict as much pain as possible as quickly as possible to bring the war to speedy end as to avoid unnecessary human suffering. Apparently that logic is lost on the left Libs and the wannbe GOFOs populating today’s Pentagon.
During Lee’s last offensive at
War is a nasty business. It’s like knocking down a hornets nest. You’d better have a plan other than just poking it with a stick. Fog it. Spray it. Knock it down with one blow from a long pole, douse it with fuel and then burn it. Disproportionate? Hell yeah it is. What are you supposed to do get stung 10 times so as to even out the fight?
