I almost never compare anything to Nazism, but in this case it is appropriate.

Hamas: 21st Century Nazis

Thanks for looking.

It's a terrible time and it was a terrible act. The killing of babies was especially egregious. The killing of innocent people was an atrocity. Whether they have descended to the level of the Nazis or the Khmer Rouge is questionable, although they may be of the same mind.

Satan has always targeted the Israelites and the Jews because they are the chosen people of God.

Thank you, Steve.

The truth dies with every report:

Notice that they say an Israeli strike despite evidence to the contrary.

CNN
—
Palestinian officials say hundreds were killed by a massive blast at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday, as humanitarian concerns mount over Israel’s deprivation of food, fuel and electricity to the enclave’s population.

Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital was sheltering thousands of displaced people when it was bombed Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement. Many victims are still under the rubble, it added.

Palestinian officials blamed ongoing Israeli airstrikes for the lethal incident. But the Israel Defense Forces has “categorically” denied any involvement in the hospital attack, blaming instead a “failed rocket launch” by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, a rival Islamist militant group in Gaza.

“We did not strike that, and that the intelligence that we have suggests that it was a failed rocket launch by the Islamic Jihad, and I want to add, categorically, that we do not intentionally strike any sensitive facilities, any sensitive facilities, and definitely not hospitals,” Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus told CNN.

Gaza has been under siege by Israel for more than a week, in response to the deadly incursion by Hamas, the Islamist militant group that controls the coastal enclave, home to 2.2 million people. Hospitals meanwhile are struggling to tend to the wounded across the territory, operating with shortages of electricity and water.

It does indeed.

Given Hamas' disregard for human life when advancing the "cause" it is possible, even probable, that they destroyed the hospital themselves to affect public opinion in their favor

I wouldn’t put it past them.

Nearly worked didn't it. Fortunately no one in the civilized world believes them. Of course, many of he various Muslim sects were happy to jump on the bandwagon. Iran, looking for any chance to create hate and discontent in the world, jumped right into the mix.

A pox on both their houses.

Hence the thoughts to eradicate Hamas and NOT the innocents.

Crazy indeed. There is no moral equivalence here. One side wants peace; the other side wants genocide. Your moral compass needs to be recalibrated.

Alafoto Loc: Montgomery, AL

A great idea! However, how do you destroy the rapists and baby slayers without harming the innocents they hide among? Most of the people killed when the allies bombed Europe and the US bombed Japan were not involved with prosecuting the war against us, but bombing was necessary to destroy the enemy's ability to wage war.

Any collateral damage is the fault of the ones who started the war, not those trying to prevent them from doing it again. How much more value do the noncombatants killed by the Israelis have than the kibbutz dwellers killed by the Arabs?

The noncombatants are not specifically targeted by the Israelis.

Rab-Eye Loc: Indiana

In fact, they are warned ahead of a strike and told where to go to be safe. Hamas tells them not to leave because they would rather they die so Israel looks bad on the world stage.

Respectfully, I believe your comment to be simplistic and naive. There is no moral high ground in this ceaseless conflict. Slaughtering civilians is morally repugnant, regardless of who perpetrates the atrocities. I take no sides in this.
