Israel, Oppenheimer and the laws of war

“A date that will live in infamy” was how Franklin Delano Roosevelt described December 7 1941 — the day that Japan attacked America at Pearl Harbor, killing 2,403 US personnel, including 68 civilians.

In response, the US launched an all-out war on Japan that culminated in the use of the atomic bomb. It is widely estimated that about 70,000 people were killed in Hiroshima alone.

For Israel, October 7 2023 is a date that will live in infamy. The Hamas terror attacks killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians — and more than 240 hostages were taken.
