Good post this.
Just more evidence that the Israeli government targets Palestinians on purpose. Madness that some people think everything they do is only to get at Hamas, and that they don't knowingly target innocent people.
It's easy for us to judge Israel's response though, we haven't been directly affected. Though you still see people here in the depths of grief after losing loved ones in terrorist attacks calling for calm. Lee Rigby's parents spring to mind, who asked for Tommy Robinson to stop using his name to create more divisions. I'd like to think if I was Israeli that I wouldn't condone this response, as many do over there, but it's hard to know how you would feel.
Hamas were deeply unpopular before their attack and in many ways getting desperate. They rose to power in the aftermath of Israel's deadliest incursion into Gaza. Many Palestinians fought them directly to try and prevent their rise.
Can't help but question if this obliteration of Gaza will really put an end to Hamas as well. 49 innocent people dead at the refugee camp today whilst seeking safety. All for 1 Hamas commander. If you're family was one of the 49, would you blame the dead commander or Israel?
