Eliyahu Yossian

שו"תEliyahu Yossian
שאל לפני 2 שנים

I imagine you've heard of commentator Eliyahu Yossian.
I have often heard him say that he doesn't care about what is good and what is bad, because he is interested in victory over Hamas, and not in wasting time on ethics ("I never wanted to be a philosopher, I want to win").
He says that Israel is fighting with moral rules that are not suitable for the Middle East, and according to him, it needs to be "orientated" in times of war, and for that matter the Air Force should have bombed the Strip and killed 50,000 Gazans on the first night of the war, because in his opinion Hamas does not control Gaza, but rather the residents of Gaza think along the same lines as Hamas. In general, in the Middle East, in order to defeat an enemy, you have to fight with the utmost cruelty, otherwise they will eat you alive. He says that in the first 30 years of Israel, the leadership had a Soviet-style approach that knew how to defeat an enemy, and therefore there were victories, compared to the last 30 years when we, with a Western approach, have not seen a crushing victory over our enemies.
If he believes such cruelty is the way to defeat Hamas, can he be called a moral person? Even though he himself avoids speaking in terms of good and evil and even despises such discourse in the Middle East.

Anyone who is not interested in moral considerations is not moral. But I don't understand his argument and your question. In my opinion, it is permissible to kill whoever is necessary to achieve our goals. But it is forbidden to kill just anyone who is not a terrorist. Is that his argument? If so, then it is a moral view. If he is in favor of killing just anyone, then no.
