Golda Meir Got It: Morality Ends Where a Gun Begins

You cannot negotiate peace with someone who has come to kill you.

— Golda Meir, prime minister of Israel, 1969-74

It’s really that simple. And it hasn’t changed.

The principle doesn’t apply only to Israel. It applies to anyone and everyone.

If someone holds a gun to your head and you pretend that it’s possible to negotiate rationally with the gunman — you’re out of your mind. Or, simply a fool. What should you do? Lie, cheat, retaliate or destroy. Whatever it takes to survive. In the words of Ayn Rand: Morality ends where a gun begins.

The Israelis, especially under prime ministers like Meir or Netanyahu, are not fools. That’s why I think Israel’s going to win. Despite the toxic manipulation and deception of America’s ruling Obama-Biden-Harris regime.
