Prominent Leftist backing IDF action in Gaza
Prominent Leftist Gershon Baskin is backing the IDF operation in Gaza, acknowledging that Israel really has no choice. Here are some examples:
I spent hours yesterday morning and afternoon trying to convince my main Hamas contact to speak to his leaders

to call for an immediately unconditional 24 hour ceasefire in order to prevent the escalation.
— Gershon Baskin (@gershonbaskin) July 9, 2014
My message made it all the way up to Khaled Mashal.
— Gershon Baskin (@gershonbaskin) July 9, 2014
I wanted to try to prevent the inevitable death of innocent people and the destruction that this war would cause.
— Gershon Baskin (@gershonbaskin) July 9, 2014
The Hamas leadership decided to ignore the possibility of the ceasefire and challenged Israel to "bring it on".

These irresponsible leaders are criminals to their own people. I can honestly say that Netanyahu did not want to escalate this war.
— Gershon Baskin (@gershonbaskin) July 9, 2014
It is so unfortunate that these Hamas leaders, some sitting in hotel abroad and others safely hiding underground in ground put the innocent

people of Gaza in the direct line of fire. This is criminal. Force alone will never be a proper response to the problems of human suffering

Israel had to respond with force, I am sorry to say,
— Gershon Baskin (@gershonbaskin) July 9, 2014
How does this end?No one knows.In 2012 Israel ran out of targets,didn't enter on the ground, Hamas declared victory
— Gershon Baskin (@gershonbaskin) July 9, 2014
If Israel goes into Gaza on the ground,it will seek to not only destroy rocket supplies,it will seek to kill Hamas & Jihad leaders.

My Palestinian friends who are criticizing me for what I wrote, please respond how you would deal with the situation if you were Israeli PM

Funny. I asked the same question yesterday from an investment banker who emailed me that 'three wars in three years' is spooking business here. He didn't answer.

The investment banker has a point. If I were Israel's PM, I would have never allowed 2 terorist states to be formed along my borders in the first place. As for today's reality, I would decimate Gaza, from north to south. Asked and answered.
You've got to be kidding me... A renewable energy entrepreneur? So he's on the Obama/Clinton/Kennedy Green $lu$h trainwreck? He's spending his time berating his Hamas contact rather than working to get the Green Gaia Fraud Start Up Nation "elites" (in their own mind) to QUIT having Israeli take the $lu$h in exchange for the euthanasia of Israel...
