One day after he lost children and grandchildren, a stricken Moussa Abu Jarad struggles to comprehend what happened. 'We have no relation to Hamas or Fatah,' he says. 'We're businessmen and we don't care about politics. ... We didn't fire one bullet.'.....

It was senseless to elect Hamas, a terrorist organization as your government....some call Hamas an "Islamic Resistance Movement" However, Hamas will not recognize Israel and as the aggressor has been lobbing a variety of explosives into Israel. Who is the aggressor here? Clearly it is Hamas.

BS.

They elected Hamas and brought them into power and gave Hamas popular support. They look the other way as Hamas conducts terror operations

They continue to re elect Hamas

He needs to direct his lamentations to his leaders, Hamas. Israel doesn’t start these cleanup operations for no reason.

He “has/had no relation to Hamas, etc.” but he never spoke out about them in his community, told IDF where missiles were hidden, where tunnels might be, etc. Tiny violin here.

Hamas has the strategy of driving up the Palestinian body count, by drawing Israeli fire on civilians or by outright shelling and killing them

Until the palestinians themselves drive out the psychopathic hamas, there will be no peace

It’s really very simple. If you’re really and truly not part of the “Hate Jews, hate infidels, terrorist, kill kill kill” trip then leave or start killing terrorists, Moussa Abu.

As long as they continue supporting, electing Hamas, they do deserve what Israel is doing to them. And the Brits & France ONLY have themselves to thank by inviting the cult animals into their country, and feeds them, including Sweden!!!

It is very hard to find sympathy for the muslims when they have been the source of terrorism all over the world. Sorry, but I do not see individuals when I see these islamics, rather future/potential caliphate soldiers!

Did anyone care about the Germans/Nazi civilians in WW2? No, they were carpet bombed.

(We have no relation to Hamas or Fatah,’ he says. )

Well yes you do unfortunately. They are the leaders of your “country” They are not invisible. They are not good people and they harm you as much as they do anyone. You can accept that or you can do something to change it. Your choice.

In WWII, many Germans were not Nazi's. Many Germans never fired a shot.

Sometimes bad things happen to people as a result of the politics they elected and the culture they live in at the time.

He should have heeded Israel’s warnings to leave the war zone.

As patriarch, he is responsible for keeping his family of human shields in harm’s way.

Hamas Attacks Gaza with More than 100 Misfired Rockets

Map of the strikes at the article.

I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m betting that somehow, someway, they blame “the Joooo’s Zionist Entity” for these “industrial accidents”, and any casualties involved.

To patriarch:

Your terrorist government, which you & your fellow Gazans elected, has been shooting rockets at Israel for years. Did you think there would be no consequences?

What goes around, comes around.

War ALWAYS results in the death of innocents. No amount of technology or good will and morality can change that. Assuming that he is telling the truth, I feel badly for him. If not, then not so much. Either way, he should be blaming Hamas since they not only started this conflict, they also purposely hid weapons and strategic targets among civilians like this guy’s family.
