- So once again it is up to the Israelis to show restraint
- The international community urged restraint as thousands of Israeli troops massed on the Gaza border poised for an offensive over the kidnapping of a teenage soldier.
Maybe they should.
But I wonder what the US would do if they suffered an attack on US soil in which a proportionate number of American troops were killed and kidnapped.
I have no idea how the American and Israeli militaries compare in size. Would the ratio be anywhere near 100:1?
If so, how much restraint would the Americans show?
Besides, I don’t think the kidnapping is the sole catalyst here.
(Am I urging bloodshed? Of course not. I’m just commenting on further evidence of an already-obvious anti-Israel bias all around.)
