“No Blood, No News”: Hamas’ “Dead Baby Strategy”. Courtesy Yahya Sinwar

“No Blood, No News”

So says the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar. His version of “if it bleeds, it leads”. 

But also a summary of what they are about in Gaza: getting their own citizens killed. And then promoting the footage of them being killed. And counting on the West finding this horrid and “genocide”. And bringing pressure on Israel to stop the war. 

The Dead Baby Strategy”. (Talked about as early as 2009)

One which I am not making up -- Hamas and Palestinians quite openly brag about it: “We love death more than you love life”, they say, ad nauseam. “We will happily send our children to be killed, to be ‘martyred’, for the sake of Allah”. 

Here’s the head of the Hamas in Gaza, the above mentioned Yahya Sinwar, in 2016: 

During an organized 2016 uprising at the Gaza border, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar admitted the group “decided to turn that which is most dear to us — the bodies of our women and children — into a dam blocking the collapse in Arab reality.” [Reference]

There’s plenty more quotes along the same lines. 

Point I’m making here is that this is not my fervid imaginings. It’s the actual policy and strategy of Hamas. 

Which goes back to the earliest strategy of Islam in the days of Muhammad and the likes of early Muslim convert, the commander Khalid ibn-al-Walid

It is today the fundamental strategy of all Jihadis, of which Hamas is merely that latest offshoot. And hence we have suicide bombers. And putting their children in the line of fire. Which today we call The “Dead baby strategy”.  No matter how uncomfortable and ugly the term is. It’s not our strategy. It’s the avowed, specific, actual, strategy of Hamas and all Jihadis. 

Let that sink in.
