| VDH - How To Make War With Hamas "Proportional" |
| 2009-01-07 |
| Some Moderate Proposals [Victor Davis Hanson] 1) Request that 50% of Israel's air-to-ground missiles be duds to ensure greater proportionality. 2) Allow Hamas another 1,000 free rocket launches to see if they can catch up with the body count. 3) Have Israeli soldiers congregate in border barracks so that Hamas's random rockets have a better chance of killing military personnel, to ensure it can claim at least a few military targets. 4) Redefine "holocaust" to refer to deaths of terrorists in numbers under 400 to give greater credence to Hamas's current claims. 5) In the interest of fairness, allow Hamas to establish both the date that war is supposed to begin and the date when it must end. 6) Send Israeli military advisers to Hamas to improve the accuracy of their missiles. 7) Take down the barriers to return to Hamas a fair chance of getting suicide bombers back inside Israel. |

| #2 Normally I agree with Hanson, but he's off base on this one. The way you make it "proportional" includes: 1) targeting civilians 2) agreeing to ceasefires you have no intention of keeping 3) using your own people as shields other suggestions gratefully accepted |
