President Biden had appropriately strong words about Hamas in his Oct. 10 address to the nation. He said we were confronted with “pure, unadulterated evil.” He described Hamas’ savage attack on civilians — men, women, children and babies — as “an act of sheer evil.”
Mr. Biden rightfully called these acts “abhorrent.” He charged that “Hamas offers nothing but terror and bloodshed with no regard to who pays the price.” Finally, Mr. Biden pledged, “let there be no doubt: The United States has Israel’s back.”Destroying Hamas, which I called for in a recent column, will be a painful, bloody, brutal business.
There are already antisemitic and pro-Hamas demonstrations on college campuses and even in many of our major cities. Mark my words: Just as it has in the past, the left-wing movement will return to referring to Hamas terrorists as “freedom fighters” and “defenders of their neighborhoods.” Somehow, the “pure, unadulterated evil” President Biden so clearly defined will fade from the dialogue. Destroying Hamas, however, will require doing what is necessary, not what is reasonable. You win wars by overwhelming your enemy with asymmetric force — not by meeting them with proportionate force.
Every time someone tells you we have had enough violence and that Israel should “be reasonable,” quote Mr. Biden to them.This is the real challenge — and the only road to safety in Israel and Gaza.
