Arrogance and machism

Opinion of a Haaretz reader :

Title: Arrogance and machism Name: marina City: State: italy

Yes, a State has the right of defending itself. Yes, Israel has many enemies (I`m afraid their number is growing, after this brilliant operation). BUT...it`s politically obtuse and morally disgusting to think that the tactic "shock and awe" is the right way to achieve safety. Every blow inferted on Hamas may have some result in a very brief period, but will bring a long chain of hate. I loved the idea of Israel, but now you are becoming a State of demented bullies. And you are putting in danger other jews who don`t live in Israel.You are covering us with shame.
