Amid escalating international complaints over Israel's "disproportionate" responses to Arab terrorism, Jewish leaders have finally relented and formulated a more proportionate means of dealing with the problem.
In remarks published Friday, leading Zionist rabbi Yisrael Rozen said the state should immediately authorize the formation of unsupervised Jewish youth militias that would be free to fire back at Palestinian Authority-controlled Gaza in whatever way possible every time a terrorist missile hit southern Israel.
Rozen said that with all the world's censuring of Israel's cautious military operations, the only logical thing to do is "respond to terror with counter-terror, an eye for an eye."
The rabbi explains that the government will then "be able to argue that the State of Israel has become fully integrated into the Middle East and is [like its Arab neighbors] incapable of controlling its militant...youth."
