Hamas 'to now target women and children'

Fox News | 6/13/03

I watched with interest as a Hamas spokesman said last night that, because of Israel's repeated insistence upon defending itself, 'Hamas would now start targeting Jewish women and children.'

Is this guy on drugs, or what? Since when has Hamas NOT targeted Jewish women and children?

[pabianice]

Any clarification for this puzzled Freeper would be appreciated...

[tkathy]

They are so lost in their lies, denial and murderous ways, that they have no moral compass or ability to discern truth.

[SunStar]

This further proves that Hamas is a terrorist organization, and must be completely and utterly destroyed. War on Terror? Hell yes.

[MEG33]

This is a really dumb press release for the arab brothers who never notice the truth that they've targeted women and children for years and years.Just more of the predictable sabatage to any hope of peace.

[judicial meanz]

My opinion-

They said it for media shock value.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Hamas 'to now target women and children'

And they weren't before?

[judicial meanz]

Forgot to add.....

They kill Kids, the elderly, and whomever they can find to attack. They are rabid animals. Why would they announce it....for media sympathy and propaganda only.

Exactly. Hamas are Palestians - let us not forget that; and so are the Islamic Jihand and Al-Aqsa Martyrs. It is just plain silly to consider them separate entities from the Palestians, as the Bush Admin. is doing - they are ALL Palestinians. Also, I seriously doubt the most Palestinians favor peace with Israel as they are saying on the news - they all have a visceral hatred for jews, so it is simple not credible to believe that.

Bush is making a big mistake by trying to foist the Roadmap on Israel while they are under attack. And once again, we are hearing about the "cycle of violence" - as if the two sides are morally equivalent! Baloney! The more I see of Bush, the less I agree with across the board.

you guys Deniro's speech as Capone in the Untouchables ........" I want him dead ... I want his family dead ... I want his house burned to da ground...." this is what goes through my head when I hear anything from Hamas.

[The G Man]

It's not so much that they were "targetting" women and children ... they just didn't care. Now they're specifically going after them (schools?)

[Catspaw]

The moral equivalency between the perpetrators, the Palies, and the victims, the Israelis, is sickening. It's like blaming a rape victim for rape.

[Mr.Atos]

Hamas has forfieted its right to exist. They are not people, but parasitic insects.

Scrape them off and move on...

...as with anything that supports them.

[xJones]

Why would they announce it....for media sympathy and propaganda only.

No question that they want media attention, but there's something suicidal about declaring the intention to kill women and children. This is going on during the "road map to peace", yet the terrorist leaders won't accept any peace, they're upping the ante to all-out reprisals. Madness...

You are trying to understand the mind of an Islamic terrorist. It might be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. This Hamas guy is an idiot, and a scum bag. The Israelis said no Hamas leader is safe, so maybe he will not be around long. The world will never miss him.

I had to agree with James Lileks yesterday:

"They don’t have helicopters, we're told, so they use suicide bombers. If they had helicopters, they would have strafed the bus and everyone waiting at the corner."

As well as a few other remarks made....

Rabid animals kill incidentally and without premeditation or target of special victims.

Palestinian terrorists choose with poisonous intent to kill versus considering any other behavior, they aim at the most helpless and vulnerable civilians, they do their utmost to kill as many as possible and they premeditate the mass murders with cold-blooded reptilian emotion.

I agree their culture of hate spread like a rabid disease, but IMHO each terrorist is better defined as an inhumane monster.

[sheik yerbouty]

The Hamas infestation of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza must be ended.

[biblewonk]

I feel so sorry for Israel. They are the most dumped on people on the planet.

[hapy]

So you are telling me last year when Hamas sent out one of his teenage homicide bombers to go on a school bus and blow it up, he was not targetting children?

Hmmmm funny how Hamas and liberals think a like... They must be educated too.
