Just as soon as Israel accepted an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire Hamas fired 47 rockets killing one Israeli citizen. Anyone who has followed the conflict could have predicted this with certainty; the point of a ceasefire — for a terrorist organization — is to break it for exactly the same reason it purposely attacks women and children.Real cruelty is when you make your opponent just as cruel as you are. Even though you might lose, you also automatically win.
Dr. Anna Geifman tried to explain that the reason why innocents are selected as terror targets is because “children are the last consecrated absolute”. That is just why they must be killed in the cruelest way possible. For “militant nihilism strives to ruin first and foremost what their contemporaries hold sacred”.
Nihilism isn’t the absence of a belief. It is something subtly different: it is the belief in nothing. The most powerful weapon of terrorism is therefore the unyielding No. “No I will not give up. No I will not tell the truth. No I will not play fair. No I will not spare children. No I will not stop even if you surrender to me; I will not cease even if you give me everything you have, up to and including your children’s lives. Nothing short of destroying me absolutely can make me stop. And therefore I will defeat you even if you kill me. Because I will make you pay the price in guilt for annihilating me.”
It’s an extremely powerful weapon. The Absolute No is a devastating attack on the self-image and esteem of civilization. Hamas will demonstrate the No, the Nothing. It will show that deep down inside Israelis — and Americans — are animals like them.
…
The power of Hamas lies in that they will never stop hating. No ceasefire, concession, negotiation or entreaty will move them. That is their inhuman strength. The Jews can even exterminate them, but only at the cost of destroying all the ideals they hold dear. If the last Hamas activist could speak he would say this:
“Shoot! I am the last. Carry out your ethnic cleansing, just as the Nazis tried with you. You will never be able to look yourself in the mirror again. The price of victory is to win on our terms. Nothing will remain of your precious Jewish self-esteem, of the illusion that you are a civilization dedicated to morality. What will you do after you kill me? Go to your synagogue and a hymn of praise to your God?
“At that moment your faith will desert you. For you claim your God does not desire blood, that yours is a God of love and I say therefore He is false. The only real Gods are those of Hate. A God that does not live by blood does not exist as my God who lives by blood exists; and when you pull the trigger you will be worshipping at my altar! I have won at last. Come to prayer. Come to Islam.”
…
And it would be so easy wouldn’t it? Just line up the M-109 howitzers to load up and fire for effect. Playing the nice guy only wins you insults even from — or most especially from — Amnesty International. “Israeli military’s ‘knock on roof’ warnings criticized by rights groups”.
The “knock on the roof” is the Israeli military’s warning for civilians before it fires on a building and is being used extensively as Israeli airstrikes target Hamas sites in Operation Protective Edge.
The Israeli Air Force developed the technique in 2009 as a way to warn civilians in Gaza to leave buildings it has identified as locations where Hamas keeps ammunition, a rocket stash or command post. But it is a controversial policy that has been criticized by human rights groups.
The Absolute No wins again. They reject your attempts to be humane, they utterly deny your pretense at humanity. So why not fire for effect? Do it. You want to, don’t you?”

I think this whole business of 'becoming as bad as they are' is overblown. It certainly isn't a reason to lay down arms, or refrain from killing even the last one.
The comic books make a big deal out of this, but if you're dead, you're dead and you can't choose either good or evil. If you kill the Absolute No, you at least get a chance to ask forgiveness and do penance.
Otherwise you lose everything you hold dear.
If someone presented me with that villain's choice, the one that always shows up in the comics, the one that always seems to mess with the hero's head - the one that says 'if you deal with me permanently, you're no better than I am'... I would pull the trigger in a heartbeat.
Because that dilemma is a false one. The ones who practice the worship of the Absolute No are liars.
“Shoot! I am the last. Carry out your ethnic cleansing, just as the Nazis tried with you. You will never be able to look yourself in the mirror again. The price of victory is to win on our terms.
That is a lie. They tell it to themselves, they tell it to us, but it is a fantasy they use to shore themselves up when all appears lost.
Because there WILL be a difference between us. I will be alive and capable of reform, if needed. "Yes" for me is still an option, because I don't kill from hatred, but rather self-preservation.
On the other hand, my enemy is quite dead and can no longer threaten my loved ones. And his bankrupt worship of Nothing will blow away like dust in a strong breeze.
Most good folk know this at bottom. The bad guys know it too, but they are presently waging war on the internet and the world stage, and appearances must be kept up.
The major issue seems to me to be this: There is morality, there is false morality, and there is antimorality.
The western morality, taken as the traditional liberal moral principle set, will regulate itself. And if that were the only one, it would persist.
The false morality, that of force, of killing as regulation, even the killing of the victim (as in rape), would persist regardless of whether it is true.
But it is the anti-morality which is the most dangerous, because it exists as an infection to kill the liberal morality, and it does so by overt support of both false morality and amorality. If successful, the anti-morality will first kill morality, then it will succumb to the false morality which it enabled, leaving only the false morality of force.
Categories of anti-moral Victimhood will be the first to encounter real force of false morality: homosexuals, feminists, progressives; "People of the Book" will be spared for a while, so long as they pay Mohammed's designated Dhimmi jizyah tax. Most will be enslaved, and eventually killed.
The Darwinian solution to survival should be obvious, especially to AtheoLeftist evolutionists. But nothing about reality seems obvious to them; they are the anti-moralists. Their hatred of morality and their western roots blinds them to all consequences of their attempted devastation of liberalism and morality. It truly is a mental illness.
