🔵 COMMENT of the day: Taking Out Ismail Haniyeh Was Morally Necessary
Editorial (New York Post)
Terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh is dead. Good riddance!
Those blaming Israel have it exactly wrong. Haniyeh, the killers he commanded, and their patrons in Iran are the ones causing war and chaos.
They’re the escalators, not Israel, which – as so many conveniently forget – is the victim, not the aggressor.
Haniyeh helped lead an organization devoted to genocide against the Jewish people. His death was a strategic necessity for Israel, and a moral one as well.
That his death generated a new crop of equivocators devoted to his defense is beyond obscene.
