FAKING  HISTORY TO MAKE RELIGIOUS WAR

The Europeans, and as a matter of fact,  the majority of the members of the UN also,  feel it is in their national interest to stay on the side of the more numerous Muslims. They will take humanitarian arguments in support. They need to be educated on the "root cause" of it al: the insidious persuasive power of Qur’an 5:82 to animate Muslim hatred of Jews. 

The Arab Muslims have at least a century old history of aggression against the Jews. They invented a false history of a "Palestinian" war against Israel in which thousands of years of Jewish history is blotted out, and thousands of years of "Palestinian" history have been invented.  I would say that Israel created the Palestinian Authority in 1994; and  in 2000-01 it turned the historical clock back by offering the Palestinians a state that they—again—rejected; also in 2008; that meanwhile in 2005 Israel withdrew totally from Gaza, leaving billions worth assets, withdrawing a huge population of Jews from their homes and hearths...The Europeans who have an acknowledged disdain for objectivity and truth,  are now worried about the "intolerable levels of human suffering" in the same Gaza which Israel handed over to Arab Muslims (who named themselves "Palestinians") under pressure from the US, EU and UN. Ariel Sharon removes all Jews from Gaza and cedes Gaza to PLO. Gazan Arabs plunder and destroy the prosperous, profitable agricultural enterprises created in Gaza by expelled Hebrews...

In 2007, HAMAS overtook Gaza, murdered some PLO officials and expelled the rest of them. From that moment on, HAMAS methodically converts Gaza into military industrial zone with majority of military factories and infrastructure underground, mostly under the residential, school, medical and cultural buildings. They relentlessly tormented Jews in the neighborhood with blood attacks, kidnappings, rapes and every kind of inhuman behavior reserved for Jews! October 7, 2003 was the largest and a particularly vicious one leading to the present war.

So the Europeans want Israel not to be "disproportionately" violent in their reaction to the cruelty of a terrorist organization which in their published Charter declares its intention to annihilate Jews? If a warring side may fight in pursuit of an aim up to some proportionality-respecting limit, then an important question is whether that side is morally required to stop fighting when it reaches that limit, despite not yet having attained its aim. Hamas is unwilling to accept that the 'Palestinians' could live peacefully along side Jews in Israel. Their slogan is "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!" That is destruction of the Jewish Nation at it exists.

And Israel's legitimate interest that it must have secure borders from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. To achieve that limited aim, the attackers have to be vanquished at the earliest. Use of disproportionate power is an essential element in any war strategy!
