It's quite a conundrum regarding proportionality. How, indeed, do you 'proportion' the cruel slaughter perpetrated by Hamas with the collateral casualties of Israel's response? It isn't just a life for a life; the cruelty of Hamas has placed into Israel the determination to wipe Hamas out.

Militarily (I'm a layman), if there are hundreds of miles of tunnels under Gaza within which Hamas operates, Israel has to destroy said tunnels. Bunker-busting bombs of whatever kind are required to do that job.

'Proportionality' becomes a convenient concept on which to take sides. In which regard, jfman has profoundly disappointed me.

Interesting, indeed. It shows a pragmatism on Israel's part that has been rewarded with the 7-Oct barbarism conducted by Hamas.
