A War Brews

Escalating violence by Palestinians against Jews in the Holy Land including the murder of a baby, and now the shooting of several Israelis leading to at least two more deaths signals an impending war. Israel must react with massive and overwhelming force to restore deterrence. A "proportional response" or attempt to handle this as a law enforcement, apprehend the shooter(s) effort will be laughed at by the Palestinians and invite more spilling of innocent Jewish blood. Israel must put the element of fear back in those who contemplate jihad that even if their initial efforts at terror seem to be a success, the price that they and those backing them will pay will be unimaginable.
