I saw that, too. Surprises me the Israelis are not lobbing anti-personnel artillery into the crowds of people running around in the streets now.
I saw some other WION news broadcast. Fails to mention (at all) that Hamas initiated hostilities ... that they were the ones crossing borders and taking civilian hostages and wantonly killing anyone they could set their weapon's sights on.
If I was in charge and someone murdered ... and took my citizens hostage like that ... I'd start killing so many of their people so fast they'd beg a cease fire so as to rush my people back into my arms. I'd punish so damned hard no one would EVER think that might be a good way to engage me in conflict again. They'd wait for the moment where I could be annihilated in one blow. And, knowing that, it'd be a cold day in Hell before I stopped slaughtering them.
I never have understood how the Israelis could exercise so much restraint when provoked by a people practicing and governed by a religion that calls for the Jews to be erased from the Earth. This would be a perfect moment for Israel to accuse Iran of instigating the war and to openly declare war on the Iranians ... and nuke the living shit out of them. Then stand and face the rest of the Islamic world and throw down the gauntlet.
And ... believe it or not ... I'm not so much of a fan of Israel (any of 'em). And ... I have a great deal of respect for Middle Easterners (the common folk). I have to apply the Golden Rule (from the keyboard) in this case.
