Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas’s political bureau, said Israeli airstrikes killed three of his sons and four of his grandchildren in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday.
Israel confirmed targeting Haniyeh’s sons but said it did not have “information” about the killing of the grandchildren, which included three girls and one boy. They were killed in a strike on a car in the western part of the al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City.
The Israeli military claimed Haniyeh’s family was “en route to carry out terror activity,” but their relatives said the three sons and four grandchildren were traveling to meet family for Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan.
Haniyeh said that the killing of his sons and grandchildren won’t impact ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas. He said that a total of 60 of his relatives have been killed by Israel.
“All our people and all the families of Gaza residents have paid a heavy price with the blood of their children, and I am one of them,” Haniyeh said. “The occupation believes that by targeting the sons of leaders, it will break the resolve of our people … We say to the occupation that this blood will only make us more steadfast in our principles and attachment to our land.”
Hamas’s main demand for a hostage deal has been for a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, which Israel has repeatedly rejected.
Of course, like all Hamas terrorists they were using kids as human shields. Terrorists supporters will focus on the deaths of the children and simply forget that terrorists were the ones who put the children at risk.
And what did daddy terrorists say? He ” thanked God for the “honour” bestowed on him by what he called the “martyrdom of his children and grandchildren”. Getting his grand children killed for PR points is “honor”. Nice guy.
You are so boringly predictable. 44% of all Palestinians killed by Israel since October 7 are children
“Over 14,000 children have been killed and nearly 17,000 others have lost at least one or both of their parents in the Israeli bombings or ground offensives in the last six months in Gaza.” And according to you, that’s fine. Not that these kids deserved it, nor that the Israelis are so uncaring as to target anyone for being a brown male or in proximity of a brown male, aide workers, even three vans one after the other clearly marked as WCK. They could bomb your house and kill your kids so long as the AI told them you were “probably” housing a Hamas leader and you’d say “guess they’re just being careful.”

Of course like all Zionists, the IDF can’t face people who shoot back without filling their diapers. So they go after the kids and others who can’t.
No wonder you jackasses try to censor speech. When you open your mouths no one but the braindead believe you anymore.
Hamas sent young men on a suicide mission on Oct 7. Arafat kept his family in France while he sacrificed others in Palestine.
And that makes the IDF less cowardly?
Hamas are fighting for their parents and siblings and friends and neighbors and themselves for human rights and freedom. They are volunteers not draftees and there are more to replace them, they know they risk their lives but they know why they do it, they are not cowards like the IDF scum, driving over bodies the way the IDF HUMAN TRASH DOES, EVEN A LONELY LITTLE GIRL CRYING FOR HELP INSIDE A CAR THEY KILLED ROLLING OVER THE CAR WITH THE DEAD FAMILY AND HER WITH A TANK. IT IS SICKENING MAKING YOU VOMIT.
Shame on you justifying such viscous killing.
If my son had done anything like this I would not have wanted him to ever come home again. What evil kids they must have been to grow up to become such monsters.
” He ” thanked God for the “honour” bestowed on him by what he called the “martyrdom of his children and grandchildren”.
You are taking him out of context or completely misquoting him.
And Israel used human sacrifices at the music festival when the IDF didn’t give the organizers of the festival a heads up about a possible attack. That was the real PR move and it was allowed to get enough Israelis killed so they could get the genocide they’ve had wet dreams about started.
Well you are justifying state terrorism. Israelis kill children with 2000 pound bombs, of course they knew the children were in the car and of course they would lie about it. The Israelis destroyed the health care infrastructure torture and kill medical care takers, destroy Ambulances and kill people driving bulldozers and tanks over them including young children. There is no crime too brutal for Israelis to execute, they will torture and kill their mothers without any reservation, they are pathological killers in line with Jeffrey Dahmer.
There is no way you can excuse them unless you are one of them. Normal people would never do what they do, their young undisciplined IDF members are scum, I would not want anyone of them as a neighbor, they are real scumbags, people without common decency and you defend it?
This is a message to Iran: there will be no cease-fire and thus Teheran’s offer of not retaliating in exchange for a long cease-fire in Gaza is rejected.
Connecting with the adjacent entries “US Thinks Iranian Retaliation Against Israel Is Imminent” and “Biden Walks Back Call for Israel to Declare a Ceasefire in Gaza”, it means that everybody is aligned for an imminent greater regional war and probably WW3 (nuclear armaggedon), as China and Russia will not tolerate the USA intervening against Iran directly.
I don’t see China and Russia as a definite domino in this. Not yet.
They drilled with Iran just weeks ago (and also signed a free navigation treaty with Yemen-Sana’a). It went under the radar for western media but surely not for the White House or the Pentagon. Also that was what happened when Soleimaini was murdered by Trump: the USA could not retaliate against the Iranian retaliation because that would mean war with Iran and plenty of consequences. Trump just walked out from that because he knew that nuclear war was a no-no.
This is almost exactly the same situation: if the USA intervenes, the situation will rapidly snowball. Anyhow the USA is better off not intervening because it controls the land routes between Iran and Syria-Damascus, and thus into Israel. If the USA becomes involved then all their bases in Iraq and Syria become fair game, Jordan even, and that would make Israel even more vulnerable.
WWIII.
The outrage is so high that Turkey and even the Saudis and Egyptians might side with Iran, even Pakistan. I guess Jordan matters. They’re all outraged.
I don’t know what China thinks, probably that it should stay out and get rich.
They all have the same enemy and NATO is done with. They have no reason to support the USA even if they could, the US is their biggest enemy see NS2, a declaration of war against Germany and the EU which are also NATO members.
Can it get any crazier?
By far the most repulsive country in all of history. And still “Israel has a right to exist”?
Israel confirmed targeting Haniyeh’s sons but said it did not have “information” about the killing of the grandchildren, which included three girls and one boy. They were killed in a strike on a car in the western part of the al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City.
That wouldn’t have stopped them from the doing the airstrike. To the contrary, that would have only enhanced their desire to do the airstrike. They are sick fuckers.
So by allowing these Israeli Terrorist to get away with assassinating children/family of Political Leaders, is sending the message to the World, this is how we play the game. So when families of Political Leaders in the USA, Germany, UK, etc., get targeted, get assassinated, they will have to accept it as the NORM.
That’s absolutely true. They won’t have a thing to cry about. Ah, but you can trust they will. It simply doesn’t occur to them that it should apply to them as well. That sort of logic goes right over their head, way beyond their imaginative powers even. The thought that these inferiors fancy themselves equal to their exalted selves to them seems just the absurdest blasphemy.
The US is the global state; so, it’s supposed to be somehow different.
It is leading when it comes to state Terrorism.
Global? US has never been so isolated in its history. Janet Yellen has visited China to complain about millions of American jobs being lost since China joined WTO. As if China forced those 50,000 or so companies at gun point to leave Us and relicate to China. Or has it been due to our greed that those manufacturers left? First, we loved global opportunities, now that our expectations have been disappointed — we blame others. And the highlight of her visit was her complaint that China’s new nanyfacturing revolution generates overcapacity that the world cannot absorbe. Seriously? There is so called third world that is looming forward to buy affordable products. We could use some of them to reduce inflation. But Janet Yellen worries about China exporting deflation! Is it that our manufacturing must remain expensive? Why cannot our manufacturing apply same technologies to improve productivity?
They of course could, But this is to miss the point. All those financial behemoths that actually own all our manufacturing companies do not want deflation. Their ability to skim of the top would be jeopardized. Status quo is preferred. Any disruptive technology would change the financial model.
However, the advancements in technology cannot be stopped.
To be a global nation requires more thatnan ambition to dominate. It requires the wisdom to cooperate.
Such ugly creatures make up the so-called Israeli “leadership”. They are cretins completely lacking in integrity or competence. They are without honor.
Integrity, honor? They lack conscience and empathy. Devoid of humanity. Recently, an Israeli commerce minister declared that Gaza is the only conflict which Israi are supposed to feed its enemies! Civilians are enemies. Children are enemies, As we speak no food is comming in. All media has been expelled unless under Israel control. Israel has already declared that it will not allow any aid that contains anesthesia, pain killers or diapers. Maximum cruelty. That is what we are withessing. We, the US are being humiliated. Sure, Biden is going along with genocide because he thinks it is a right thing to do. No, he is simply not having a choice. Whatever the reason — we are witnessing our complete humiliation, And the “isolationist” Trump cannot do any better in isolating our contry that Biden has done. This is a long term damage that will not go away.
Because the decision to committ genocide has been made and articulated in wvery level of leadership. Most of Israel’s polulation approves of it, and objects feeding Palestinians. This tragedy however, has all the hallmarks of the deliberate attempt to draw US into the war. Provocations and outrage are designed to create a tripwire, Set up is simple — do nothing and Palestinians will be wiped out. If anybody attempts to help them, US will be forced to “defend“ Israel. “
That is horrific.
Bunch of Bastards…!
Imagine the fucking hysteria if this had been Austin’s stepsons or Yair Netanyahu.
BTW, is Yair still living a life of luxury, hiding from the war in Florida?

Genocide Joe is missing, he is at least as bloody if not more.
