To The Daily Sun,
An obituary ran in The Laconia Daily Sun on Aug. 2 for Ismail Haniyeh, a top Hamas leader. Hamas is a Palestinian Islamist political and military organization, widely designated as a terrorist organization.
Ismail Haniyeh was a dedicated antisemite and the leader of a proscribed, genocidal terrorist group which on Oct. 7 perpetrated the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas want to wipe Israel from the face of the earth and kill Jewish people simply because they are Jewish.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was reportedly killed because he was a major obstacle to securing a hostage release deal. Although many are worried that Haniyeh’s assassination may be an obstacle to a hostage release deal, according to one source, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the killing of Haniyeh because he believed it would remove a significant impediment to a hostage release agreement. Although Haniyeh is sometimes portrayed as a “moderate” by global media, the source said he was a hardliner who kept an agreement from being made.
To commemorate such an individual in an obituary in The Laconia Sun is an insult.
