The headline on Fox makes it seem as though this is a sudden turnaround in Hamas' position. It is not. Hamas has been calling for Israel's destruction ever since it was founded.
The Hamas Charter demands Israel's annihilation as a political and religious obligation.
Hamas leaders recite these calls to destruction on a near daily basis.
That Israel would take actions to defend itself from a terrorist group that seeks its destruction should be self-evident and unremarkable. However, since it is Israel, these issues are raised and debated as though there is some level of acceptable violence against a nation-state that should be imposed upon it.
Hamas says that Palestinian blood isn't cheap. Funny, but the Palestinian terrorists have no problem putting children in the line of fire, recruiting them to become suicide bombers, and sending them to their deaths in a futile effort that is designed to curry international media attention because if Israelis wound Palestinian kids who have been placed in the line of fire, the situation is not blamed on the terrorists who cruelly and purposefully seek such engagements, but the Israelis, who often take gunfire from terrorists placed behind the kids throwing rocks.
But while Hamas thinks Palestinian blood isn't cheap, they can't get enough of drawing Israeli blood. After all, that's part of their creed - to destroy Israel and there is no surer way than to kill as many Israelis as possible.
