Dear Friends:
Following is an open letter to Mr. Stu Sinfa, posted on Facebook just moments ago. Mr. Sinfa asked if it was possible that the State of Israel had been "provoked" to act in a certain way regarding a certain situation. Israel's actions were condemned by some of the British media as being "inappropriate," "needlessly violent," or "uncivilized."
I am not a violent individual, but I believe that if someone points a gun at my head, he or she must be prepared to accept the high likelihood that 1) I will assume that the weapon is loaded; 2) I will assume that the individual aiming at my head intends (at his or her will) to pull the trigger; and that 3) I will take whatever action I am able to take to counter the perceived threat. In sum, I believe that if you choose to threaten my life, you must be fully willing to put your own at peril. You take on an immeasurable risk (and put those close to you at immeasurable potential risk) the moment that you decide to threaten me. There are no exceptions, unless it is my choice to permit you to deliver me from the burdens of this world.
Open Response To Stu Sinfa-
Regarding the issue of Israel's being "provoked" to act, I believe that Israel has been compelled to fight for its survival from the very moment of its first breath as a sovereign state. It is a tiny nation surrounded by violent adversaries relentlessly bent upon its annihilation. Self-defense (like politics) is an imprecise art, often inflicting casualties. -- DC
It is actually very simple, once you strip away the conflicts of interest, posturing, pandering, politics and old-fashioned bigotry.
Faithfully,
Douglas Castle
