Israel, Napalm and Mosquitos
By Walter E. Block
In the event, the IDF killed Yahya Sinwar with lead bullets. But suppose, just suppose, that they had done so with napalm, instead. Would the Israeli soldiers have been justified in so doing?
The Zionist entity has been accused of using this weapon, utilized by the US in its war with Viet Nam. I take no position on whether this actual incident occurred or not. But if it were indeed the case, would it have been justified?
It is beyond clear that if anyone ever deserved to die a premature death (none of us gets out of this vale of tears alive), it would be Yahya Sinwar. While he was a guest of the Israeli prison system, Jewish doctors and dentists saved his life from certain death due to a health malady he had contracted. How did he repay this generosity accorded to him? He was the mastermind behind the pogrom of October 7, 2023, which directly killed 1200 innocent people and included the kidnapping of an additional 250 musical concert goers and kibbutznicks. Many of the latter have already perished or soon will meet that fate, if we can rely upon the usual scruples of Hamas.
