Hamas’ rockets never discriminate between Arabs and Jews — they fall where they fall. .. gunmen who raced across the border, butchering and kidnapping as they went, were not discriminating ...

Hamas terrorists killing Muslims inside of Israel after they infiltrated the border

...

Masudin’s family hails from the Bedouin village of Segev Shalom in southern Israel, just an hour’s drive from the border with Gaza.

...

Gunmen burst into the city Saturday morning with their automatic rifles blazing, killing civilians and shooting it out with local police units in firefights that consumed the town.

They even captured the local police station before reinforcements from the Israel Defense Forces surrounded it and slaughtered the remaining extremists.

Samer was fortunate, however.

Masudin had called the cops, and the military retrieved Samer — after several worrisome days — and delivered him to his mom in Segev Shalom.

But though Masudin’s family narrowly escaped tragedy, many in the Bedouin community did not.

Acquaintances of his died during the assault.. Hamas kidnapped scores of Bedouins and brought them back to Gaza

...

attack has poisoned the well for Bedouins who may have had some sympathy for the plight of the Palestinians, who are also Sunni Muslims.

“Whatever made Hamas decide to do this attack basically severed that connection, killed it and buried it deep in the ground...

my community — besides the fact that they are completely pissed — they seek vengeance on the people who did this,” he said, adding that in his view, Hamas is no better than ISIS.

“No one can justify how they burn and kill and behead babies in the south of Israel and say, ‘Oh yeah, this is our resistance, a fight for liberation...

“Even if it was ever a fight for liberation … it’s dead now.”

Kuwaitis love the Palirats too. They helped the Republican Guard rob, rape and pillage during Saddam’s invasion.

But beyond the everyday horror inflicted by the terrorist organization, the attack has poisoned the well for Bedouins who may have had some sympathy for the plight of the Palestinians, who are also Sunni Muslims.

“Whatever made Hamas decide to do this attack basically severed that connection, killed it and buried it deep in the ground,” Masudin said.

“And now, my community — besides the fact that they are completely pissed — they seek vengeance on the people who did this,” he said, adding that in his view, Hamas is no better than ISIS.


There are unintended consequences.

Looks like the NY Post won’t allow access to stories for those with an ad blocker. It used to allow you to continue, but not anymore.

Seeking vengeance, don’t do that. God said.

Israelis with Bedouin or Druze friends know what Bedouin and Druze tell them: Israelis with a European or American mindset can’t survive in the Middle East.

The ancient Arabian proverb is الدم يولد الدم (phonetically, “dam butlab dam”), blood begets blood. Never let any slight go unavenged.
