Dennis Prager adapts Churchill's tribute to the RAF to defend Israel's military actions, arguing that those who don't fight evil resent those who do. He cites Gerard Baker and Douglas Murray to claim Israel is uniquely denied the right to win wars.
Winston Churchill said of the men of the Royal Air Force after they had repelled Hitler's Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain, and he puts in parentheses Gerard Baker, reminder to some recently confused quote-unquote conservatives: the former, that is the Nazis, were the— excuse me, the Brits were the good guys. The latter, the Nazis, the bad guys. We should echo those words today. Never have so many owed so much to so few.

Well, you know my, uh, my aphorism: those who don't fight evil hate those who do. It's a rule of life.
