Dear @Malala: I have great respect for your courageous stand for women's rights, which got you shot and nearly killed.

But Western ideologues are misinforming you about Gaza. The perpetrator here is terrorist Hamas—the same kind of murderous Islamists who tried to kill you.

I will be happy to speak with you further to discuss this.

Until then, you may wish to see this international law analysis of how Hamas terrorists view Israel's compliance with the laws of war as a strategic enabler for their own objectives.

@Malala, nothing can justify what Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists did this week. They rained down more than 1800 rockets targeting millions of civilians across Israel. Children were rushed into bomb shelters. Israel has every right—and the duty—to stop the deadly rockets.

When masked Taliban gunmen came on the bus to assassinate you, it would have been justified for someone to shoot them first.

The same is true when Hamas & Islamic Jihad fire thousands of rockets aimed at Israeli civilians. You should not blame the victim.

I understand that you came under enormous pressure in Pakistan to condemn Israel, and I remain open to discussing this matter further.

We have been deeply engaged in supporting the cause of women's rights in Pakistan, so we would have much to discuss.
