Nothing justifies the more than 2,000 rockets that have been launched at Israel over the past few days. The attacks by Hamas should be condemned as pure political opportunism. And nothing justifies the Arab-on-Jewish violence in Israel’s mixed cities or attacks by Jewish mobs on Arab-Israelis, the shocking new dimension to this conflict.
