The Cancer of Hamas.

UPDATE: Event: Pro-Israel Rally "Because they need all the help they can get"
What: Rally
Host: I support Israel against Gaza!
Start Time: Tomorrow, January 6 at 12:30pm
End Time: Tomorrow, January 6 at 3:30pm
Where: Israeli Embassy, Washington, DC***Support Israel, break Hamas. David Warren:

An organization that persistently declares Israel has no right to exist, and persistently acts upon this premise, cannot be negotiated with. The Israelis have the material means to destroy Hamas, and therefore the moral imperative to do so.

Israel also has the misfortune to be defending herself today in a world that is lost in moral fog. The predictable, asinine resolution from the United Nations ("both sides stop shooting right away") is, alas, representative of public opinion in many Western countries. We are nearly incapable of making hard decisions, let alone sticking to them. We did not cry, "Both sides stop shooting right away," on D-Day. The correct response was, "Onward to Berlin." [snip]

Again: it is wrong to negotiate with such an enemy. It leaves him to fight another day, and then another. It thus condemns people on both sides to additional death and destruction down the road, while depriving them of the peace and order that can come only from a definitive resolution of the conflict.

Break Iran's terror overlords. Bill Kristol, "Why Israel Fights". Michael Ledeen, "Is Iran in Trouble?" Root out the cancer of Hamas. Israel is doing President Obama a favor on Iran.

And this, "Don't Pity the Palestinians":
Observers worldwide have been expressing great pity for the people of Gaza, many of whom have been killed, injured, or forced to flee their homes during the ongoing IDF operation. This pity may be a natural emotional reaction, yet it is unethical and immoral.

To pity the people of Gaza is to patronize them, in essence implying that they do not control their fate, the state of their government, or their own actions. [snip]

Moreover, Hamas' ultimate defeat must not be at the hands of the IDF, but rather, it is an endeavor that must be undertaken by Gaza residents themselves. After all, Hamas is the true reason for their misery.
