US Media Discovers 'Senior Hamas Commander' Just in Time for Another Strike
Al-Monitor reports the Israeli military struck a car in Gaza, killing four, to 'target' senior Hamas commander Raed Saed, an 'architect' of Oct 7, citing Israeli officials. What they don't mention is that Israel has a decades-long history of 'targeted killings' – euphemisms for extrajudicial assassinations – which consistently inflame rather than resolve conflict. Remember Sheikh Ahmed Yassin in
2004, or his successor Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi weeks later? Each 'elimination' (another sanitized term) has been followed by more violence, not less. This predictable storyline conveniently frames Israeli actions as precision strikes against 'terrorists,' distracting from the 100,000+ Gazans killed or injured since October 7th. It ignores the strategic vacuum created, often filled by more radical
elements, or the collective punishment inflicted on civilians in the process. We're meant to applaud the 'justice' while the endless cycle of violence continues, always funded by your tax dollars without so much as a peep about historical efficacy.
