Three sons and three grandchildren of Hamas ’ top political leader were killed Wednesday by an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip, and the leader accused Israel of acting in “the spirit of revenge and murder.”
In his interview with Al Jazeera, Haniyeh said the killings would not pressure Hamas into softening its positions.
“The enemy believes that by targeting the families of the leaders, it will push them to give up the demands of our people,” he said. “Anyone who believes that targeting my sons will push Hamas to change its position is delusional.”
“The criminal enemy is driven by the spirit of revenge and murder and does not value any standards or laws,” he said in the phone interview.
The strike came as Palestinians in Gaza marked a muted Eid al-Fitr holiday, which ends the holy fasting month of Ramadan, by visiting the graves of loved ones killed in the war.
Yep. Very different. End result is of course the same, but so is the end result of a fatal aneurysm.
What the fuck is your actual point here? That the 3rd degree killing of children is somehow acceptable? Would it be acceptable for example for Hamas to collaterally kill the families of IDF soldiers?
EDIT: Iran is supposedly soon going to be retaliating against Israel for the bombing of its consulate. Let’s say the target high ranking Israeli military officers (like Israel has been targeting theirs). How many Israeli kids is it acceptable for you to be collaterally killed in such an attack?
My position is no, none, collateral murder of kids is fucking wrong no matter who does it. What the fuck is your position?
Obviously. What is the point of stating this banality, this easiest positions of them all?
Check out the OP buddy. If it were a banality we wouldn’t have this very discussion. But it apparently isn’t, so here we are.
