JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel would “crush and destroy” Hamas in response to its attack.

Netanyahu said every Hamas member was a “dead man.”

Netanyahu made the remarks in a late-night televised address as Israeli planes pounded Gaza in response to the unprecedented attack.

It's easy to call the people you don't like "terrorists" after you put them in the world's largest open air prison, allow them no voice in their governance, deny them basic human necessities, and they predicably act out of desperation .

What's hard, and the right thing, is the force holding the bigger gun exercising restraint in their response.

But we're sending two aircraft carriers to back up that already far superior force as they punch down and possibly do a genocide. No amount of conditional soup makes organized religion worth the continuous, murderous madness it brings.

If you're willing to kill real people or die for an imaginary friend, you're the problem.
