From today's NEW YORK TIMES opinion page:
Questioning the “proportionality” of the Israeli response to attacks on its citizens mimics the absurd notion echoing in European capitals.
Would it satisfy the Europeans if more Jews were killed or wounded, thus making the casualty count more quantitatively symmetrical?
Have military victories historically been achieved when a country responds to aggression with only the exact measure of force leveled at it and no more?
Finally, if missiles and rockets were landing in your living room, just exactly how much force would you like to see directed at the bad guys to make them stop?
