Dear Editor,
With all this hullabaloo by Eugene Robinson about Israel 's using “disproportionate” force ("It’s Disproportionate " op ed, July 25, 2006], how does he think wars are won? It is when they are proportionate that they go on forever. Only Israel gets criticism by winning a war and suffering fewer casualties. In order to minimize civilian casualties, Israel sends leaflets, makes phone calls, and blares loud speakers warning citizens to leave the area where Hezbollah terrorists hide among them. Robinson calls this humanistic approach “cleansing” and “collective punishment.” Meanwhile, Hezbollah shoots rockets targeting Israeli civilians – rockets laced with ball bearings and nails to create more civilian casualties - yet Robinson is silent.
