(Sept. 17, 2025 / JNS) Israel’s attack on Hamas leadership in Qatar was a moral imperative and a strategic success. It was a moral imperative because the forces responsible for the horrific terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, must be destroyed. Such evil has no place in civilized society. Destroying Adolf Hitler and the German Nazi leadership was a moral imperative in the 20th century. Obliterating the Hamas leadership is a similar triumph of good over evil.
