why is israel targeting and arresting decocratically elected HAMAS leaders?

Question

If the targetting and arresting of HAMAS leaders and palestinian civilians is not terrorism, then what is terrorism?
If HAMAS is not a democratically elected and legitimate govt,then what is DEMOCRACY?
Should thousands of civilians be killed all over the world in the name of fighting terrorists?

Answer 1

Israel began targeting Hamas leaders again because Hamas started bombing Israel the other day to try and quill the violance between Fatah(?) and Hamas.

Hamas started it. Hamas and Fatah(?) was killing each other in the streets of Gaza and in hopes to draw their attention else where Hamas sent missils into Israel to try and unite Hamas and Fatah against Israel.

That's how murderous and stupid these peaceful muslims are.

I don't agree with all that goes on over there but don't blame Israel for defending themselves.

Answer 2

Those Hamas leaders should be thankful that they were arrested instead of being killed.

It does not matter one whit how they became the leaders of the Palestinian leaders. If they engage in terrorism, organize terrorism, and support terrorism against Israel, then Israel has the right to do something about it.

I mean, people like you are incredible. If Israel uses a missile strike to take out these people, you complain about that. If Israel arrests them (far less deadly) you still complain.
Tell me, what is Israel supposed to do otherwise?

Answer 3

regardless of the fact that members of Hamas were democratically elected they are still responsible for the actions of their organization.

Hamas is currently launching rockets at civilian targets inside Israel. Do you expect a nation to do nothing when its civilians are being killed and attacked?

These men are responsible because they are the leadership of Hamas, as such they should take responsibility for their actions if they do not stop.

Answer 4

Over 200 rockets have been launched into Israel from Gaza over the last 10 days.

Any rational person can see that Israel has to act to defend itself from these attacks on its population. Frankly, just arresting these Hamas maniacs and not killing them outright is something only Israel would do.

As for Israeli attacks on Gaza, they are aimed at terrorist targets, such as bomb factories. So yes, if Palestinian civilians have to die accidentally from these attacks instead of Israeli civilians being killed with these bombs, Israel has every right to do so.

You are right in one regard. Hamas was elected democratically. The problem with democracy in such an insane place as the Palestinian territories, is that the population will actually vote themselves into more trouble. Again, if this results in danger to Israeli civilians, Israel has every right to protect itself as it deems fit.

Answer 5

Hamas has nothing to do with democracy. There are no Hamas "leaders". Hamas is a death cult that should be removed from the face of the earth.

Anybody teaching their children what you see below is pure evil and scum.

Answer 6

Israel is the only country on the planet that gets criticised for defending her citizens. It's absurd.

If Hamas leaders spent less time organising attacks on Israel, and more time thinking of peaceful options, we wouldn't be seeing these problems in the first place.

Answer 7

...Hammas needs a Biblical history lesson... God is going to defend Israel no matter what... (think I'm kidding...?) just review history and then read all about it in the Bible... believe it or not !!! "pitty the fools" who will come against Israel...

Answer 8

Israel is a Fascist entity.

Answer 9

they are shooting rockets at Israel.
