They say they want to be martyred but won’t have a face to face confrontation.

Hamas chose this and now people are surprised by Israel’s reaction? Shocking … /s

Hamas doeant care

Netenyahoo doesnt care either if he had his way…he would slaughter every gazan man woman child and infant

Strange how the people who started the massacre are getting the sympathy. Something terribly wrong with that after the atrocities they committed.

If Hamas is the leaders of the people in Gaza, it is their responsibility to protect them, not Israel’s. As it is, Hamas prefers dead Palestinians to gain sympathy and recruits after, of course, committing violent and deplorable terrorist attacks directed directly at civilians in Israel.

Don’t get me wrong, and eye for an eye, has never been good policy. Especially, when the leaders of both sides sit comfortably at home far from the carnage. Heck, the Hamas leaders even took time to travel to Russia to visit their buddy Putin.

Don’t drop that H-Bomb on me.

Go drop it on yourself.

All right.

“The Bomb Song”, Country Joe and the Fish

They did bomb themselves when the rocket landed in the hospital parking lot.

Hamas does bomb itself – then blames Israel.

In the real time, scoop the other side, blame the “other” environment who can/should be trusted?

“In war, truth is the first casualty.” (Aeschylus)

Hamas did blow up their own hospital killing 500. This has been confirmed.

And where does Netanyahu sleep? Rumour has it.. he has rich friends with bomb proof bedrooms.

Hamas hiding behind civilians is just despicable.

So Mr. Rall are you saying it is OK for Hamas to embed themselves in the civilian population???

MSM: “Israel claims that Hamas is using Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza as a hiding place, a claim that Hamas denies.”

Well, if Hamas denies it, it couldn’t be true. Right, foolish Democrats?

Perhaps if they try really hard, Hamas can find some women’s skirts elsewhere to hide behind.

Except that Gaza is a tiny, tiny place (40 square miles) and the most densely populated area on earth. The city I live in is 50% larger in area, with only 1/7 as many people. So where, exactly, is Hamas supposed to locate that isn’t near civilians?

No one’s hands are clean, not Hamas, not the Netanyahu government, and not those in the rest of the world using this for proxy battles.

Those that are killing children have no claim to moral superiority, nor does their “cause”. Make the argument about what it should be: “Is killing children acceptable?”

Strange. Mr. Rall defends Putin when the Russian army uses the same tactic of deliberately attacking civilian targets in Ukraine even though the Ukrainians had done nothing to precipitate the Russian invasion other than desiring to maintain their independence of Russia.

Netanyahu’s policies brought about this latest ‘war’. He has violated agreements made in 1948 that established Israel. We should not ignore Netanyahu’s settlements in lands that were agreed not to be settled by Israel. Netanyahu’s ‘Hitleresque’ policies of ‘Lebensraum’ are to take lands with settlers for Israel’s growth, ’more “elbow room”. In the end, two wrongs do not make a right.

Hamas HEADQUARTERS ARE UNDER THE HOSPITAL!Do the research

Have you any idea of how stupid this cartoon is? Are you CONDONING that HAMAS hide in hospitals etc.? How many modern militaries do you see do that? HAMAS is scum.

Israel’s claim is that Hamas puts command centers and other important resources underground beneath buildings such as hospitals, so that targeting them entails targeting civilian facilities as well. Given that Hamas apparently has a very extensive network of tunnels, presumably it could continue to operate underground without putting buildings like hospitals directly in harm’s way. Not happy with what Israel is doing, but on the other hand, not sure what a good alternative for them is under the circumstances. Israel needs better leadership, but the Palestinians, who have always had bad leadership, do as well.

How about you not put missile launchers on hospitals and on playgrounds? How about you not use civillians as human shields?

Guess where Israel puts its military and political infrastructure? But that’s okay because they’re not “terrorists”.
