#3 Every time IDF kills a terrorist, and his human shields, it upholds my human rights.

#4 I don't have a problem with Ban's position, in theory. But he fails utterly to note that upholding detainee's rights may in some cases be in tension with the rights and security of the societies they are attempting to corrode and destroy.

The challenge is how to defeat a large and growing decentralized terror threat, funded by states but not wearing their uniforms, while still retaining our souls, integrity and personal freedoms more or less intact.

#5 The souls of our ancestors were fine and their methods of killing their enemies efficient and final. That's why they survived long enough to eventually have you and me.
