Hours earlier, the Palestinian father-of-two left his apartment in Deir al-Balah to collect birth certificates for his three-day-old twins – Aysal and Aser, a boy and a girl. But while he was out, he said, he received a phone call that an Israeli strike had hit his home, killing the two babies, along with his wife, Jumana.

I would kill myself. Unfathomable.

I would probably throw myself at the people that killed my family. Try to take a few of them out.

Sort of makes me wonder if killing all these Palestinians is really going to bring about peace for the Israelis. I think not.

They know this and encourage it.

Every time the Palestinians kill an Israeli, that gives them permission from the Americans to kill a thousand Palestinians.

And that's their plan to take all the land. Offer up a few thousand Israeli lives to genocide a few million Palestinians.

Sort of makes me wonder if killing all these Palestinians is really going to bring about peace for the Israelis. I think not.

They're counting on it not.

When the people that did this walk in your streets, you have an opportunity to make an impact on the way out.

This is what they call "terrorism": when people get revenge on them for their atrocities.

One man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.

I've never wanted children, but I imagine those that do would be brought to happy tears upon learning they're going to not only be a father, but father to twins.

And I cannot comprehend the loss you would feel learning that they were killed in a political war that they nor you have any part in.

When my daughter was 10 months, she wriggled off the sofa and bashed her bottom lip. I rushed to pick her up to make sure she was okay, and as I did, a tiny trickle of blood welled up from her split lip.

She was perfectly fine, made loads of friends at the hospital. But in that moment, if there was a cliff next to me, I'd have jumped off of it.

If someone else hurt them, or dropped a bomb on them, the whole world wouldn't be safe. I can't imagine what's that guy is feeling.

Clearly dangerous Hamas-affiliated infants, Israel had no choice /s

Can’t spell infantry without infant.

Good news, they aproved another 20 billion for Israel to do more of that
