Bad Move

No Israeli official should use the word Shoah when threatening an attack. It's stupid, and gives the world anti-Israel and anti-Jewish fodder. And even though he didn't mean it as committing genocide (which someone else had to go and explain away), it immediately garnered this remark from Hamas:

Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas's prime minister in the Gaza Strip, said: "This is a proof of Israel's pre-planned aggressive intentions against our people. They want the world to condemn what they call the Holocaust and now they are threatening our people with a holocaust".

Really, really REALLY stupid word to use...
