Gilad Sharon, søn af den tidligere israelske premierminister Ariel Sharon, skrev en leder i The Jerusalem Post søndag, hvori han opfordrer til en meget mere aggressiv håndtering af Gaza.
Gilad Sharon skriver:
We need to flatten entire neighborhoods in Gaza. Flatten all of Gaza.
The residents of Gaza are not innocent, they elected Hamas. The Gazans aren’t hostages; they chose this freely, and must live with the consequences.
Israel needs to flatten all of Gaza. The Americans didn’t stop with Hiroshima – the Japanese weren’t surrendering fast enough, so they hit Nagasaki, too.
There is no middle path here – either the Gazans and their infrastructure are made to pay the price, or we reoccupy the entire Gaza Strip. Otherwise there will be no decisive victory. And we’re running out of time – we must achieve victory quickly. The Netanyahu government is on a short international leash. Soon the pressure will start – and a million civilians can’t live under fire for long. This needs to end quickly – with a bang, not a whimper.
