It’s like this:
- Hamas fired rockets at Jerusalem indiscriminately, with no regard for civilians, schools or hospitals.
- Israel fired back, but with targeted strikes aimed at the Hamas rocket installation and other military sites.
- Hamas fired more rockets at Jerusalem, again with no attempt to avoid civilians.
Makes sense so far, right? Cause and effect.
Enter The Squad, armed with Leftist Logic. Intelligence and common sense have left the building.
According to Squad members Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, when Hamas fired rockets at Israel, it was in self-defense.
Yes, Hamas fired first. Doesn’t matter. It was self-defense.
Yes, Hamas made no attempt to select strategic military targets and avoid civilian, school or hospital casualties. It was self-defense.
If this makes your brain hurt, congratulations! It means you’ve successfully retained your intelligence and common sense.
