Burn, Yassin, Burn

I will pray for the destruction of any group, no matter how just their cause might be, that intentionally kills women and children because of their religion, genes, or beliefs. It disturbs me that many world leaders have reacted with such outrage towards the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, spiritual leader of Hamas. These same Ministers have never lifted a phone to call the grieving families who took the brunt of this man’s inspired atrocities. They’ve called Israel out for violating international law, but where are their relentless public condemnations of suicide bombing civilians? Yassin was fully involved in a genocidal struggle to purge the land he lives in of Jews. He got what he deserved.

Many in the European and American left have adopted the Palestinian cause without fully understanding the complexity of the situation. As with many on the hawkish right, they willfully disregard the well-being of one of the parties to come to an easy conclusion that no one can live with. The propaganda on both sides is well financed and riddled with hate.

It is unfortunate that so many of these people, who associate themselves with the causes of global justice and peace, haven’t stood loud and strong against the most violent and ruthless killers of our time. Hamas, al Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad are no freedom fighters in the tradition we idolize in grade school text books, but instead they indulge in the purposeful bloodletting of civilians. There is nothing redeeming about choosing a target only because it kills the most Jews. As such, these groups must be obliterated for the good of man.

Many rebut that what the suicide bombers do and what the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) does are analogous. There are very few similarities. Operation Grapes of Wrath and the Sabra and Shatila massacres are the only cases where one can find intended non-combatant bloodletting by IDF forces. Though many non-combatants have died during IDF operations, it is unfortunate and unintentional collateral damage. When Hamas detonates a bomb, the end in itself is the collateral civilian damage. The IDF uses only guided weapons when attacking targets like Yassin – they aren’t firebombing entire cities as Hamas would if they had an air force. May all of Hamas find the same fate as their founder. Burn, Yassin, Burn.
