If Israel failed to kill Hamas leaders in an airstrike on Qatar on Tuesday, it would succeed next time, the Israeli ambassador to the United States said after the operation, which raised concerns it would torpedo efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.

    What a menace. Not only are they committing genocide, but they’re creating problems for everyone in the region. At a certain point, arab countries need to consider if the damage they may do to their other enemies is worth the risk.

    “We have put terrorists on notice, wherever they may be … we’re going to pursue them, and we’re going to destroy those who will destroy us,” Yechiel Leiter said in a speech at the U.S. Capitol complex on Wednesday.

    That says it all really. Why would someone stop fighting if their enemy says “you’re dead!” no matter what? Shit like this strike and the bold statements just entrench an already entrenched enemy. Hamas will salt the earth behind them in Gaza if it means Israel doesn’t take the land.
