Jeff Robbins in dailyherald:
Webster's Dictionary defines"sophomoric" as"overconfident of knowledge but poorly informed." This fairly describes Israel's bitter critics who, as always, denounced Israel's most recent attempt to stop Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas from murdering more of its civilians, at least for a couple of days or so.
One might imagine that it would be commonly understood that Israel cannot simply permit this to go on ad infinitum. But evidently there are those who do not in fact understand it. The Palestinian Authority, which professes to want an independent Palestinian state despite having repeatedly rejected one, is incapable of governing Jenin, which it nominally controls. Riven by clan warfare and rife with corruption, the Palestinian Authority is a hot mess.
That would appear to leave Option 2, which is to try to stop those committing murder from committing murder. This does seem like a no-brainer. But there is a certain set indisposed to use their heads when it comes to Israel. So, when Israeli troops finally entered the weapons factory that is Jenin last week to try to slow down"Murder Inc.," the predictable crowd proclaimed the predictable things.

The dismantling of missile factories, weapon storage depots and IEDs planted under civilian roads is a"pogrom."
