The Hamas attack on Israel was an even greater atrocity than the suicide aerial assaults on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, and was a greater act of collective suicide. Al-Qaida knew that the 9/11 attacks were a “massacre of the innocents,” but their principal target were famous buildings that symbolized the power of American capitalism and military strength. The attacks were a shocking escalation of long-standing terrorist activity, following attacks in the previous several years on the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut (1983), the international barracks at the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia (1996), the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania (1998) and the USS Cole in Yemen. They were, in their psychotic way, intended to be a show of purposeful strength and menace. The Hamas attack on Israel was a deliberate assault on random civilians with no greater symbolism and no reasonable possibility that the authors of it did not know that Israel’s response would be a determined effort to capture or preferably kill every member of the Hamas military and terrorist apparatus.
This is the home of an entire family in #KfarAza slaughtered by #Hamas #terrorists. The family dog refuses to leave the bed where the family’s children used to sleep before they were butchered. #HamasTerrorist #Gazagenocide #Isarael #Palestine #GazzeUnderAttack #Israel #Gaza pic.twitter.com/fqTX0SLCPl
