Mine was a statement of reality. Sowell's quoted statement above is an arrogant strawman. I have followed this crisis closely and have yet to see a single journalist or pundit or analyst say that because Israel suffered x casualties they are only allowed to kill x-1 Palestinians. Instead, what they say is that Israel's response is disproportionate and dismissive of Palestinian lives. Sowell, too, is dismissive of Palestinian lives.

I am so sick of hearing about 'disproportionate' response from Israel. What would a 'proportionate' response be? This is war. Don't take a knife to a gunfight, and you won't get your arse handed to you.

As far as being dismissive of Palestinian lives, have you ever heard of an enemy combatant sending warnings about when and where bombs are about to be sent? If Israel was truly 'dismissive' of Palestinian lives, then Gaza would already have been leveled and there wouldn't be a single living being left.
