The purpose for war by a just people is to destroy the will of others to harm or kill you. It's not enough for Israel to shoot Iran rockets down. It's Iran's intent that has to be destroyed.
:) Noooooooooo. Even if they are just throwing rocks at you it's not enough to just keep batting them away, nor just throw rocks back at them. You have to destroy their will to want to harm you. To accomplish that the response may have to be disproportionate. If WW2 had ended with just a cease fire, we would still be fighting it today. It had to end with unconditional surrenders. WW1 ended with a cease fire, and in many ways, WW2 was a continuation of WW1. The war in Korea ended up with a cease fire and here we are, 70 years later, living under the threat of North Korea sending a rocket with a nuclear bomb our way.
