He accuses the Israeli Prime Minister of being uncontrollable and no longer listening to advice. The Hamas a population they are willing to sacrifice. Their “secret weapon” against Israel is dead, wounded, and suffering Palestinians and with the help of the media and the naive West it is working. How should Israel have responded to the Hamas who for years have been firing rockets indiscriminately at Israeli civilians, killing and sexually assaulting civilians, teaching their children to become “killing machines” (Oct 7) and calling for the total destruction of Israel An official Hamas document recovered by IDF soldiers proves that many Gazan casualties are the direct result of failed rocket launches by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. ‘11% of launches towards Israel since October 7 fell inside Gaza’ How many of the “civilian casualties” are Hamas combatants? How many civilians casualties were caused by misfired rockets? So many questions need to be answered. and it is not so simple as the question implies.
