What do Hamas mean by saying "All Israelis legitimate target"?

Do they included the Children ? The old ?

Is it because ALL jews are required to serve in the IDF under mandatory conscription & can be recalled at anytime ?

Is it because they claim ALL Israelis therefore have , ( or will have ) blood on their hands ?

Are they talking about all Israelis anywhere in the world ?

What does Hamas mean by this statement ?

    Zionists make no distinction between the National Security Forces of Hamas and innocent civilians; they routinely shoot children and the elderly. The only way to halt this vile practice is to create a situation whereby any attack on civilian Palestinians is responded to by a retaliatory attack of zionist civilians; eventually even the dumbest zionist will realize that in attacking the people of the land they are merely attacking themselves. Rather like the cold-war concept of MAD (Mutually Assured destruction). If they wish to shed the blood of innocents they will pay with the blood of innocents.

    Yes, No, No and Yes.

    Firstly, Hamas is, at its core, a terrorist organization. They have killed children, old people and Israelis outside of Israel in the past and will most likely continue attempting to do so in the future.

    Secondly, many thousands of Israelis refuse to do military service every year, and even during code 8, (highest Israeli military emergency) not all Israelis are called to active service.

    These claims are not reasonable and are usually not even made by Hamas. Hamas reasons that Israelis, by the merit of being Israelis, are giving support to ancient Zionist belief in the right of Jews to live in Israel. This view is incompatible with those of this terrorist group and they therefore make declarations of hate and violence.

    I have to agree with Turn to 05s answer. The Israeli military I'm sure did not make plans to go out and murder children. They didn't even plan to murder Palestinians in general. This war waged by Israel is against a particular group in Gaza. Hamas is using these civilians as a shield. By harboring these groups they have placed themselves in harms way. But like Turn to 05 said, I don't think they enjoy killing children but most people when faced with having to kill in order to protect your own would definitely chose to kill. I hate to quote a movie but in Munich, Daniel Craigs character says The only blood I care about is Jewish blood.

    to all you supporters of palestine lets say for a moment Israel is occupying palestine now when palestinians blow themselves up and kill innocent woman and children Israel has the right to wipe them off the face of the earth just look at America and the Indians when they attacked farmhouses and murdered and scalped everyone they went and wiped out the Indians so stop bothering Israel and call on America to give all the Indian land back to the Indians

    I would imagine it means just what it says: each and every Israeli is a legitimate target no matter where he or she may be.

    I would not want to be seen carrying an Israeli passport...that's for sure.

  • Hamas means that they have dehumanized Jewish people to extent they call them apes and pigs and say even rocks and trees will call out to them wherever they are to be slaughtered (from the Quran.) Yes, it's everywhere. Munich massacre was some athletes in Germany. Hamas is just a continuation of that radicalism and in fact is calling for reinstating the PLO. So much for peaceful democratic elections.

    Tamarind, it is not Jewish people that should hide their Jewish passports, it's the extremists that should be worried. Oh wait, there are blockades and checkpoints... that works for me!

    Hamas means they believe the killing of any Israel is legitimate which is another demonstration of how Hamas is a criminal organization bent on perpetuating war and continues to be listed by the United States as a terrorist organization.

    Good Luck!!!

    Yeah, they mean ALL. All innocent people are a legitimate target.

    How can reasonable people support them?

    Hamas didn't make it up themselves and have nothing to do with the origins of the statement. It's an old war cry the pals know won't happen.

    In the beginning, other countries such as Egypt and Syria followed by Jordon and the rest of the Arab world. Mainly Saudi started this claim as soon as the Israeli's were landed.

    They couldn't stop it. Their army's were pretty much destroyed in 48 and worse in 67.

    Hamas has never had an original thought and is totally led from outside.

    All means all means all. They don't care about the incidental kid or Arab who got killed. Collateral damage, right?

    There is no innocent ones for these people.

    It is a mindset they is incomprehensible to people who haven't hated to the unt degree. They see red.

    "What does Hamas mean by this statement ?" Exactly what you think it means. Remember they want to push the Jews into the sea.

    Mankind can be so cruel. Animals are treated better than humans. Very sad.
