400 Children Dead in Order to Get 4 Hamas. What Kind of Person Does This?
by John Lawrence
Netanyahu is turning Gaza into a pile of rubble that soon will be uninhabitable. That's probably the strategy. Then he and Trump can turn Gaza into "Gaza on the Riviera." Netanyahu turns off the water and any kind of humanitarian assistance. That might flush out a couple more Hamas. This is ridiculous and Trump will probably give him the green light to carry on with this destruction of innocent women and children. Nothing justifies this. The October 7 attack by Hamas doesn't justify another brutal attack by Israel on innocents in Gaza. One bad deed does not justify another. This war is entirely one sided. Gazans are at the mercy of Israel and Netanyahu. Couldn't they do more surgical attacks just on Hamas without bombing Gazans indiscriminately and randomly? There's no justification for murdering 400 children in order to get a few Hamas.
In short Israel is committing war crimes. They are turning Gaza into rubble and then creating a humanitarian crisis. They are destroying everything above ground while Hamas is holed up underground. So why doesn't the Israeli army go underground to get Hamas and leave those structures and people above ground alone? Who can believe in the moral clarity of Israel and in particular Netanyahu when his operations involve a killing ratio of 400 children to 4 Hamas militants. At least in Ukraine you don't see any such scenario. You don't see whole neighborhoods turned into rubble. You don't see scores of innocent civilians killed in order to kill a couple militants. Mostly militants are doing the dying. I give Trump credit for wanting to stop the killing there even if he goes about trying to resolve the situation in a haphazard and inept way. Will he have the same feelings about stopping the killing in Gaza? There there is not even a fair fight. Gazans are at the mercy of Israel and Israel has no mercy.
Revenge is not a legitimate reason for carrying out the utter destruction of everything that is necessary for human life. Gazans are trying to regain some normalcy by living amid the rubble, and then Israel bombs the rubble again. They're told to move here; then that here is bombed. Then they're told to move there and then that there is bombed. There are no good intentions on the part of Netanyahu in regard to the children of Gaza only an unmitigated feeling of a right to revenge, and that revenge has resulted mainly in killing children. Will these children ever get the right to move on with their lives and their educations? It doesn't seem like it. When has Netanyahu ever expressed any concern about that? Or is that even a consideration on Israel's part. It's sad that a people who has suffered so much over the course of history has leaders who have decided to show no mercy to the children of another ethnicity. As far as I know, Netanyahu has shown no concern for the children of Gaza. His sole ambition seems to be killing all Hamas, but his method of doing so is to bomb the hell out of innocent civilians in the hope of killing a few Hamas.
