Today four Israeli citizens were gunned down in cold blood by Hamas terrorists. Upon hearing about this, "Hamas supporters in the Gaza Strip celebrated news of the West Bank attack." This line sums up the entire Israel-Palestine problem. To literally celebrate the death of fellow human beings - what a truly disturbing, twisted and condemnably brain-washed reality for Hamas' supporters.

Israel is expected to make compromises during negotiations over the next year to finally achieve a peace agreement. How can Israel even negotiate with the "Palestinians" when one half of the Palestinian equation - Hamas - literally cheers the death of Israelis?
Is this not explicitly indicative of Hamas' stated goal, which is not a Palestinian State, but rather the death of the Jewish State?
What an utterly despicable entity, Hamas, so virulently hate-filled and demonic so as to cheer the death of other human beings. Israel has every right to pursue these Hamas militants and bring them to swift, unrelenting justice.
Remember that Israel's goal is not the death of Palestinians. No Israeli government has ever advocated the death of anyone. Israel simply wants to exist. In the Middle East. In the land of their ancient forefathers.
Where is the global outcry over Israeli blood spilled by Hamas? What hypocrisy.
I agree with you that celebrating the death of innocent Israeli citizens is an atrocious act that deserves condemnation. However, I caution the call for "swift, unrelenting justice" because justice untempered with mercy is monstrous. The last thing anyone wants is to become a monster. Instead we should hope to apprehend the people responsible for this crime and give them due process. That would be the most civilized and humane thing to do. Isn't that what we should be about?
