דניאל פלקסר מעלה שאלה נוקבת כלפי קובעי המדיניות הביטחונית בישראל: מדוע התגובה הישראלית לאירועים ביטחוניים נבחנת תמיד לפי הנזק שנגרם בפועל – ולא לפי כוונת האויב? לדבריו, לו טיל היה פוגע בבית ספר וגורם למותם של מאות ילדים, התגובה הייתה שונה בתכלית – למרות שהכוונה של חמאס או חיזבאללה כבר קיימת גם בלי התוצאה.
פלקסר מבקר את האסטרטגיה הצבאית הרווחת, שלדבריו משחזרת את טעויות העבר – כמו במלחמת וייטנאם – בהן נמנעים מתקיפת מוקדי הכוח האזרחיים של האויב מתוך גישה מוסרית-אסטרטגית, אך גם מתוך היסוס שגורם להפסד בזירה הכוללת. מבחינתו, במצב הנוכחי – כשהאויב השתלט בפועל על אזורים אסטרטגיים ויורה לעבר אזרחים – אין מקום להבחנות כאלה.
הוא מצביע על האפשרות שהאחריות מוטלת או על הצבא, שאינו מביא יעדים ברורים להכרעה, או על הדרג המדיני, שמונע מהצבא לפעול באופן תקיף. כך או כך, התוצאה היא תגובה חלקית ומדודה מדי, שאינה ממצה את הפוטנציאל המבצעי של ישראל – למרות ש"היעדים ידועים, ונמצאים אפילו בגוגל".
לדבריו, העולם נמשך אחרי מי שמנצח – וכשישראל מהססת, היא משדרת חולשה לא רק לאויב, אלא גם לבעלות בריתה.
All wars are somewhat fake, modern military tech allows limitless methods of conventional and unconventional attack, with defensive abilities substantially lacking. Even massive disproportion between warring nations militaries and economies, heavily favor the attackers. The formula changes, but the reality is that what we are witnessing is a simulation agreed to by the powerful and wealthy, to determine the worth of every people and nation.
For the Jews of Israel to allow a terrorist organization like hamas, to continue to exist, on disputed territory, after it was revealed that their palestinian peoplehood claim is a fabrication, is an admission that Jews are not willing to stand up for themselves, against the biased opinions of the people of the world towards Jews. The harsh conclusion of the evidence, is that the Arab Muslim people in mass, have adopted the historically traditional reaction to the Jews, of blaming them for everything that is evil in the world. The white gentiles refuse to believe that is a possibility, and they have censored the very idea. What remains, is what will the Jewish people decide to do about it.
If hell have no wrath, like a woman scorned, how do we manage the women? How do we protect them, and provide for them? It cannot be moral in this transition period between ignorance and self awareness that the Jews and the west are going through, to expose every divorcee to poverty and homelessness. I suspect that the premise is flawed. Maybe women can just be limited in their right to give testimony in court, due to the prevalence of their inclination to lie. Husbands will need power over their wives, if they are a force for evil, in order to best manage the family and society, but the level of that power might make things manageable.
See how societies rules, even appearing kind, have massive ramifications. Men who lie, usually feel guilty, they are condemned by society for lying, and they can be put in jail for lying in court. Women are forgiven for lying, by other women, by men, and society, so their testimony cannot be accepted, because of their massive inclination to lie, and the subversive effect on female people, of a society that will rarely punish them for lying.
By the same token, humanities need to be ruled by a dictator king, is a scientific question, not a moral one. How effective is a king or dictator, at combating corruption, foreign influence, and more, versus democracy, and its majority rule mandate? Can we understand the situation? Can we escape the current arrangement? Whatever G-d has willed for us that is good, we can achieve if we get His blessing.
The Jewish people of Israel, America, and the gentiles of the world, all have a concept, that if a nation is attacked by another nation, the attacked nation has a right to defend itself. This concept helps the Jews of Israel, fight against Jew haters, in surrounding nations. But it does not, and it will not, help Israel fight in disputed territories.
The Muslim palestinians do not accept that the Jews of Israel should have equal rights before the law, that is a good reason to stop them from participating in the Israeli government. There are others, namely the justification for violence and sabotage and subversion of every kind, mandated by a religion that does not appear that it will be reformed any time soon. Humanity does not show a great aptitude for having its religious convictions criticized. Therefore, the moral thing to do, is allow Israel to remove the people who hate them from their presence, so they can live in the nation that has already been recognized by most of the most powerful nations of the world for over a hundred years. In G-d I trust.
