Israel Matzav

Savages

It's a good thing that the New York Daily News is published in a country where there is a free press and not in Britain. After all, Melanie Phillips is currently under investigation for referring to the 'Palestinian' terrorists who murdered five members of the Fogel family of Itamar as savages. The Daily News goes even further, calling the terrorists who shot an anti-tank missile at a school bus last week savages and subhuman. And you know what? The Daily News is right.

This was a war crime by any definition: Hamas deliberately and in cold blood targeted an Israeli school bus for a rocket attack.

This bears repeating so the words ring loudly against the silence of the hypocrites of the United Nations Human Rights Council: Hamas fired a laser-aimed anti-tank missile at a yellow school bus with the intent of killing children.

Hamas blew up the bus in retaliation for Israel's killing of three of the terror group's commanders, men responsible for the rain of missiles coming out of Gaza into southern Israel.

Declared Hamas: "This is an initial response to the occupation's crime, the latest of which was the assassination of the three holy fighters."

Thus, Hamas has openly stated its philosophy: You kill my soldier; I kill your child.

...

Israel has responded militarily to the attempted murder, as it must. Watch for cries that its use of force is criminal. Watch for hand-wringing and lamentations about the "cycle of violence," as if everyone is to blame. And watch as some shirk from applying the term "terrorist" to Hamas, insisting on using an antiseptic term like "militants."

These men, these murderers, are proud of what they do. "Terrorist" isn't strong enough for them. How about "savages"?

How about it indeed.
