Ben Shapiro on Israel's response to the October 7 Hamas attack

Frankly, I don't believe in proportionate response to terrorism.   I believe that the way you stop terrorism is with wildly disproportionate response.  It doesn't mean in terms of targeting civilians.  It means in terms of killing as many terrorists as humanly possible.   And allowing them to dictate the terms of engagement by hiding behind civilians in areas that they're supposedly responsible for means that the only option for Israel is to surrender to Hamas's hatred of its own citizens, its willingness to use its own children as human shields.  No country worth its salt could ever do that.
