This Ongoing War..
14 November '12..
It's difficult listening to the commentary of some of the foreign analysts on the battle unfolding around us tonight. Over at the BBC, they had a Middle East "expert" a few minutes ago, making what can only be called sneering comments about what might have motivated the Israeli prime minister to move now and mount an attack. (Hint: the upcoming Israeli elections.)
But from where we sit in Jerusalem, the analysis looks quite different. This (extracted below) for instance is on the front of the Times of Israel site right now:
Israeli politicians from almost across the spectrum Wednesday hailed the government’s decision to embark on a major air operation in Gaza and the killing of the leader of Hamas’s military wing, Ahmed Jabari. Only some on the far left condemned the Jabari assassination, arguing that targeted killings do nothing to advance peace and merely perpetuate the cycle of violence.
