The Darkening of the Intellect, Deadening of the Moral Sense

I found this today:

Anthony De Rosa is a reporter for Reuters. He asks:

If Iron Dome is so successful, what is the purpose of killing so many in retaliation, especially human shield causalities?

If this were a serious question, asked in earnest by a creature with a human soul, the sober answer would be that Israeli air strikes are meant to destroy enemy launch sites.

But it is not a serious question. The best answer is this, tweeted by one Robbie Guy:

If you had an AMAZING jock strap, reducing pain by 90%, can I still keep kicking you in the balls without you retaliating?

Yet even this contemplated castration via blunt boot damage is too kind a reaction to this comment by a Rueters writer. Jew-hatred should not be tolerated in any civilized nation in the West. It is beyond the pale.

To those who say this is not Jew-Hatred, I ask only that you provide me with three examples of a nation condemned for defending herself from unprovoked attacks without declaration of war by enemies not in uniform upon her innocent civilians, aside from a Jewish nation being attacked by Jew-haters?  Well? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
