Mehdi Hasan to Mark Regev, senior Netanyahu advisor:
“If Hamas gunmen were hiding out in a school in Tel Aviv or in an apartment block in Haifa, would you be OK with the Israeli military dropping bombs on those buildings, leveling them, killing the innocent Israelis inside in order to get the Hamas gunmen? Would you do that?”
He doesn’t answer the question.
@aral @lisamelton Medhi Hasan is a treasure, utterly ruthless when it comes to bringing the thunder.

I wasn’t aware of his views before posting this. Not that it changes the validity of his question but I’m also not a fan of people who dehumanise folks like me who don’t believe in their particular brand of magical sky fairy (or any other brand, for that matter) by calling us “cattle.”
