Hamas, Israel and “terrorism”: If we have to use the label, at least let’s use it honestly | Salon.com

Palestinian emergency services and local citizens search for victims in buildings destroyed during Israeli air raids in Khan Yunis, Gaza, Oct. 24, 2023. (Ahmad Hasaballah/Getty Images)  “Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you” Germany is arresting those protesting against the Israeli carnage, and Companies are sacking staff who do the same. While they act as apologists for Israel. There is something very sick in that logic.

Apologists for Israel point out that Hamas intentionally targets civilians and the Israeli military does not. That is a distinction without a difference for the people killed, maimed and terrorized by the Israeli military — commanded by leaders who know perfectly well that the likely civilian death toll will be high. The cover story about not “targeting” civilians is a comfortable rationalization for the slaughter of civilians that self-righteously denies the obvious reality.
