To the Editor:
Were innocents beheaded by Hamas knives? Maybe? Were innocents beheaded by IsraeliDefenseForces Hellfire missiles launched from Apache helicopters and drones? Definitely. Both invoke terror and are acts of terrorism. One terrorist rips a knife blade across the throat. The other clicks a mouse on a remote computer miles away. Both acts result in the murder and mutilation of innocents. In the last few days IDF missiles and bombs have decapitated, incinerated, suffocated, mutilated and buried thousands of innocent Palestinians in Gaza (including over three thousand children).
The murder and mutilation of innocents is simply unacceptable. Whether it’s an individual terrorist with a knife or a government inflicting collective punishment and genocide with high-tech weaponry. Intentionally targeting innocents is abhorrent, reprehensible, wrong and illegal. These terrorist acts dehumanize the perpetrators who murderously attempt to deny and exterminate the humanity and sanctity of their victims. We must all demand an end to all acts which intentionally murder and mutilate innocents. To stay human we all need to condemn the violence and brutality unfolding before our very eyes. Please do something. Please say something. Please.
