Israel celebrated 73 years of independence 14 April 2021
After World War II modern Israel came into existence on 14 May 1948 as the homeland for the Jewish people. It was also defined in its declaration of independence as a “Jewish state,” a term that appeared in the United Nations partition decision of 1947 as well. From the very beginning Arab nations opposed the idea of the Jewish state.
The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement was issued on August 18, 1988. The Islamic Resistance Movement, also known as the HAMAS, is an extremist fundamentalist Islamic organization operating in the territories under Israeli control. Its Covenant is a comprehensive manifesto comprised of 36 separate articles, all of which promote the basic HAMAS goal of destroying the State of Israel through Jihad(Islamic Holy War).
So the question is how should Israel respond to the constant attacks of rockets and other arms that has happened repeatedly since HAMAS was created.? It is a fact that Israel has overwhelming military power compared to HAMAS. Making nice to an enemy whose soul purpose is to destroy you leaves the victim of the attacks no choice but to shoot back. That is what Israel has done every time there has been incoming fire.
Calls for a two state solution are pointless if HAMAS and other terrorist groups have there goal as the destruction of Israel. Israel’s Jewish population is 6.7 million people and is about 75% of the total Israeli population.
What is a proportional response when your enemy wants to kill you?
