No Separate Peace

Israel finds itself in a shooting conflict with Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), which hides behind the civilians in the Gaza Strip. IDF spokespeople are quick to say that this current exchange of fire is NOT targeting Hamas or the Palestinian Authority but specific PIJ members leading and plotting attacks on Jews. This statement is true so far as it goes, but it does not address the fact that Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are also mortal enemies determined to extinguish the Jewish State. PIJ may or may not coordinate with the other terrorist groups, but their aims are identical, even if their tactics vary. Why let certain terror organizations bent on the genocide of Jews off the hook? Why not eliminate the presence of jihadists representing any group plotting the murder of Israelis?
