File under: Hamas

#1 At least NYT doesn't claim finding palestinian children drained of blood. Yet.

#2 excellent speech from Bill Maher. He could have added Hamas started the war, and could have ended it any time by surrendering, and didn't. Also Hamas were voted in and are popular in Gaza.

That said - I am troubled by this story of surgeons finding kids shot in the head. I hope that is not the IDF starting to lose their professionalism and give in to hate and sadism.

Wars brutalise people. It's not ok to shoot kids in the head. It's a war crime. If it's accidental, that's different, like when the kid is behind a wall and shots are fired at a combatant, hit the wall, go through and get the kid accidentally. But a head shot sounds deliberate.

These people need to be resettled, you can't kill them all, they're all Hamas so they can't be left there either. They need to be moved to Egypt/Jordan/Qatar permanent resettlement

#4 I am troubled by this story of surgeons finding kids shot in the head.

Of course. That’s why it’s told.

I hope that is not the IDF starting to lose their professionalism and give in to hate and sadism.

That assumes the Jooooos are the ones who did it, if it happened at all, and not Hamas for propaganda purposes.

Which still doesn’t address the fact that Hamas & hangers rampaged through southern Israel on October 7, 2023, posting boasting videos of themselves on Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram kidnapping, torturing, raping, killing, and desecrating the corpses of all they encountered, Jew, Arab, and foreigners alike. Check Rantburg’s archives on that date and the days that followed — we archived it as it happened, along with the excuses given them by those to whom the claimed colonialism of the Jews in their own native land justifies any atrocity against them.

#5 That assumes the Jooooos are the ones who did it, if it happened at all, and not Hamas for propaganda purposes.

Of course it is the Juice because they are all heinous and icky. No way could this be Hamas trying to influence Gazans by murdering their children in front of them, because the Hamasniks are all brave freedom fighters.

tl;dr: this story smells like a propaganda piece

#6 ^It's NYT.

#7 Hamas would happily shoot kids to make martyrs to blame on Israel. But the fact that the IDF is still taking prisoners of actual Hamas terrorists is a big indicator that if anyone is killing kids, it's not the IDF.

#8 1. No way it’s IDF. There’d be no point to it.
2. Sinwar rose to where he rose to , in part, by killing Palestinians in the presence of the victims’ family members.
3. The war would end today if Gazan people released those whom they kidnapped over a year ago.

#9 Idk about anybody else — but I am more than a little fed up with those who show up somewhere — anywhere!! — for two weeks and then go spouting off as if their word is Authoritative.

(Israel has been in combat operations with Arabs for 75 years. Has anybody alleged such Heartstring-Pulling Pallywood before? No. )
They’re laughing at us.
It sez in their holy book plain as day “War is deception.”

#10 The Geneva Convention is quite clear...

When Illegal Combatants hide among civilians or use civilians as human shields as Hamas does - any resulting civilian deaths are the fault of the Illegal Combatant.

You literally cannot have it any other way.

#11 This story has my wringing my hands-- on Palestinians throats.

#12 I am well documented as not a Bill Mahar fan, but he is not wrong.
