Excerpts:
Every bulletin incants the same falsehood: that Israel is attacking "Hamas militant...targets" (by the way why are Palestinian fighters always described as "militants"?)
But how can a baby be Hamas? A Mosque? A school? An Ambulance? A family? A whole apartment block?
Or, as I heard you explain, the parliament building. Oh what an irony is that destruction of the parliament building, housing that rarity in the Arab
world, a freely elected assembly. .Hamas are the freely elected government of the Palestinian people living under occupation.. "The terrorist group Hamas" is the usual mantra in the western media discourse.
- - -there is no "targeting" in any case. How could there be? If you bomb a seven story apartment building to kill one man (and his four wives and several of his children) in what sense is that "targeted"? You have in fact targeted every single person in that block and given the density of Gaza, adjacent blocks too. That's hundreds of people you have "targeted", in which case you have not targeted at all.
