In a conflict situation where a terror group kills citizens and takes hostages, there is a moral obligation to take decisive action against the perpetrators. Mistakes can occur in war due to the fog of war, but there is a distinction between the fog of war and the justification for engaging in war. The international left's view on the fog of war does not equate it to the underlying rationale for war. When one side is an anti-Semitic terror group aiming for extermination, and the other side is a democracy seeking to minimize casualties, there is a stark contrast in motives and actions.
