Call Terrorists By Their Rightful Name

Former mayof of New York, Ed Koch, says: Call Terrorists By Their Rightful Name.

The people the New York Times refers to as "militants" in Gaza have been firing rockets daily from the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun at nearby towns on the Israeli side of the border, seeking to injure or kill Israeli civilians. Those who intentionally aim to kill civilians should be referred to as terrorists. I, like most Jews in Israel and the U.S., have come to the conclusion that the Palestinian government and the Palestinian people who overwhelmingly voted for that government are part of the international Islamic terrorist effort to bring the West and its civilization to its knees. For Hamas, the two-state solution is not an option. Hamas believes that all Jews not born in historic "Palestine" must be expelled.

More to the point, Hamas believes that all Jews must die.
