It’s not a terribly long distance from eye for an eye to baby for a baby. No doubt some foes of Hamas will now rejoice at the sight of Palestinian babies blown to smithereens in retaliation. It was an acquired habit, the result of a process of moral dulling and rage sharpening.
The Hamas terrorists who murdered babies in their cribs last week weren’t stamped with pathological hatred at birth. It took years of conditioning, via propaganda, and then steady practice, via party and state brutality, to shed their humanity and become a nation of functional sociopaths. Germans did not become Jew killers in a day.
