In reply to the discussion: I am not OK with Israel bombing the AP headquarters. [View all]oldsoftie
(13,538 posts)73. I dont. But I know the tactics of their attackers
Hamas uses civilians & the world falls for it every time. Not to mention ANY excuse for the Anti Semites the world over.
I've LONG tired of the self imposed victim hood of the palestinians; who have had a myriad of chances at peace and refused them all. The civilized Arab world has left them behind & are now making treaties with Israel. Israel controls less than 1% of the ME. Everyone else needs to get used to that tiny piece of land being Israel because they're not going anywhere

Only one reason to bomb AP HQ -- to stifle reporting. More viscious attrocities must be planned.

They were bunking with Hamas. That is the only reason the building was targeted.

So poor, underequipped Israel couldn't simply evacuate the building and do a sweep?

Where is the evidence that it housed Hamas, and on top of that, what is meant by Hamas here? n/t

This could easily be true, Hamas is notorious for using sensitive buildings as cover

Destroying that building kind of reminds me of a person using a chain saw to cut a birthday cake.

Exactly. This is the same fair, even handed treatment Israel shows to citizens of the West Bank

All occupants were warned in advance, they took computers and files out down the stairs.
