Kudos to Israel

Salah Shaheda, the Hamas commander, died in a Gaza air raid. Good. However, so did his children. My response? Doubly good. Many of you will read these comments and feel like vomiting. However, Israel is fighting for it's survival, a concept difficult for many to understand. Israel, until a couple of weeks ago, was losing in my eyes. They had to occupy "Palestine", only to be scolded by the world. Every tactic that was effectively employed was denounced as "disastrous", "heavy handed", and "Nazi-esque". To those of you who agree with the pro-Palestine statements, read this:

ISRAEL MUST FIGHT TO SURVIVE.

This is essentially what Israel showed when they struck against Salah Shehada, the so-called "Bin Laden of Israel".
