A “Sophie’s Choice” is one between equally bad options.

We have Hamas trapped in Gaza, and its only hope for survival is to use the hostages to break the siege.

Which presents us (and the other countries whose people have been taken) with a painful Sophie’s Choice.

Will we choose to negotiate with the kidnappers? Will the world? Will the world turn against us?

Hamas must be taken out.

What do we do next?
