They keep bringing it up in a different context time and again and don't seem upset about describing in in the most gruesome detail, but when it comes to Israel, they suddenly turn squeamish.

And sure, the sadistic orgy of Hamas terrorists murdering, raping, mutilating and taking Israeli civilians hostage that started the war in the first place is totally irrelevant to their mission... and that seems ok to you???

I don't think I can comment any further without violating DU rules.
