I recently heard a discussion on the radio with the ethicist Prof. Asa Kasher about whether politicians should be held to their campaign promises as if such commitments were business contracts. We have all witnessed news personalities cornering a politician into a public promise, as if in a competition for who can extract the most outrageous promise, and to politicians sprouting promises they’ll never deliver, with some even adding physical manifestations to prove seriousness (anyone remember the infamous shaving of a mustache?).

On Saturday, December 27, 2008, after eight years of continuing rocket attacks on its territory by Islamic terrorist organizations, Israel launched a full-scale military operation against the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip. Officially named Operation Cast Lead, it began with massive air-strikes against Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets, and continued with a ground incursion in which thousands of Israeli soldiers participated.
