To allow a blatant attempt to inflict death and destruction on an entire nation to go unanswered would be to acquiesce to victimhood status. Although much of the world seems to side with Israel when it is perceived to be a victim, followed by denunciations when it strikes back, this is not the time for Israel to curry favor with those who favor victimhood. I favor survival over victimhood, as all reasonable people should.
It would seem that the focus must be on the evident failure of the Iranians to achieve any success with their barrage of drones and missiles. They must now know that, despite their considerable arsenal of lethal weapons, they cannot easily penetrate the impressive Israeli defenses. They clearly threw a maximum of weaponry against Israel in order to demonstrate their ability to harm the Jewish state, and they failed.
A single missile strike that reaches its target and destroys that target seems to be the ideal response. It would indicate that Israel has the capacity to deliver destruction when and where it chooses, without causing a large amount of such destruction — yet. A missile strike penetrating Iranian defenses will present a picture of success, whereas Iran presented a picture of failure.
This limited approach will avoid giving Iran the mantle of victimhood and will not deprive Israel of the right to affirm that status to those who view Israeli victimhood as a virtue. In this manner, Israel can avoid the harsh blowback that the mainstream press and so many governments reserve for it whenever Israel assumes the upper hand in its conflicts with its neighbors.
