But Hamas is really careful about protecting the innocent...right?

[MrMike]

Or perhaps not so much? The cowardly Hamas ploy of setting up civilians to take hits (kills) for PR benefits has truly come out of the shadows. Our local PJ e-Jihadis will always claim different, but video evidence sure points to the war crimes of Hamas.



Rare Footage Appears To Capture Gaza Rocket Site
The Huffington Post | By Nick Robins-Early
Posted: 08/05/2014 3:26 pm EDT

An Indian TV crew says it was able to film Palestinian militants setting up a rocket launcher outside a Gaza hotel on Monday.

The video released by India's NDTV appears to show a three-man Hamas rocket team setting up shop in a heavily populated Gaza neighborhood. NDTV reporter Sreenivasan Jain calmly explains from the window of his hotelroom how the emergence of a blue tent became the site of suspicious activity, with men running wires within.

Jain explains that the tent disappeared after an hour and its content was seemingly covered with various bits of camouflage. The next morning Jain reports the team heard a "loud explosion and a whooshing sound" coming from the site just minutes before a 72-hour ceasefire took effect.

Throughout four weeks of fighting, Israel has said Gaza militants fired rockets from densely populated areas in the Gaza Strip, endangering the enclave's population. Though militants have launched thousands of rockets towards Israel in this conflict, both the danger related to being in the vicinity of the launchers and the clandestine manner in which they are assembled have made the sites hard to report on. The sites from which militants fired at their foe therefore often remained well-hidden. As The New York Times photojournalist Tyler Hicks explained in a recent interview about the two weeks he spent in Gaza, he never saw a launching device. "It’s as if they don’t exist," he added.

This is why it's so remarkable that the Indian crew was able to capture the site on tape. "Just as we reported the devastating consequences of Israel's offensive on Gaza's civilians, it is equally important to report on how Hamas places those very civilians at risk by firing rockets deep from the heart of civilian zones," the crew said in its report.

Head over to NDTV for more details of the report.

I really haven't weighed in on the subject. But it is pretty obvious that Isreal would never get guys or the launcher in a strike. They would be long gone. So they aren't using civilians as human shields. They are using civilian areas as camouflage. Sure they could set up in the middle of the desert and them be obliterated right after the launch considering the technology Israel could employ in finding a launch site set up far away from civilian populations and destroying it.

 

[MrMike]

I tend to agree. I think it's those times that Hamas sets up next to a school, a shelter, someone's home and invites in the response is just more proof of their strategy to spread the death amongst civilians as part of their platform for PR.

Imagine what would have happened had Israel responded to that rocket launch and site next to the hotel and the resulting drama? Hamas knew exactly what they were doing and probably hoped that site and hotel would be hit while they hide away like cowards remotely firing the rockets.

It's a lose/lose situation.

If you know the guys are gone what would be the point of leveling the place where the rocket was launched ? I say the settle this sh*t like their ancestors did. Let a few thousands from each side meet in the desert with spears swords and chariots. Last side standing sets the terms for the end of the conflict.

The further the leaders are away from the front line the more perverse and depraved war becomes - Nope they should lead any battle - maniacs or no - what possesses us to lay down our lives, put our families in danger, kill another decent human being, on the say so of some fat toad sitting at home in a big leather chair in their underwear with a whiskey in one hand and a big fat Havana in the other? Madness -
Or some wimp who dare not say boo to a goose or - what possess us?

In case you haven't noticed a large proportion of our citizenry is being labeled "terrorist" these days. It's for sure that the gov't is arming itself against us.

Attaching a label doesn't make it so.

How are Hamas any different to ----say --- The French Resistance in WWII or any other Resistance group in any occupied Land? Huh we could even say America and its Independence ( though the American indigenous peoples plight is actually more apt) - how are Hamas different -

Seriously?

Uhhhhhhh........well for ONE thing in WWII the FRENCH resistance was the FRENCH people fighting after the German army, with the approval of no other countries in the world, invaded the actual, worldwide accepted borders of the country of, .....................wait for it now,.................."FRANCE", !!!!!!!

Hamas is the, what, hamas people fighting after the Israeli army with the approval of no other countries in the world, invaded the actual, worldwide accepted borders of the country of, .....................what,.................."Hamasland"?

Care to show me the reconized boundries of this "hamas" country? Or perhaps of the country of "Palestien" that was "invaded", that is being "occupied" by a neighboring country, would THAT be easier for you?

We may as well accept US cities from West Virginia to the Carolinas being shelled at random because the US citizens there are "occupied" the homelands of the oh so noble hill-billies who merely want their "home" back.........

Silly assed position if ever there was one.

The French Resistance were Communists who were sabataging long before Germany beat the French in WWII - Who was the greatest enemy to Europe at that time? Stalin was - who stopped him just walking into Western Europe? Germany. We fought on the wrong side as usual - This World would be a far far better place if we had backed Hitler instead of destroying the whole of Europe and crashing the World into chaos -

The corrupt Leaders of the World are not the people of the World and the only people of the World supporting the Khazars are Americans - No one else -

Who made the borders? The West did - so stop talking twaddle - Palestinians have lived in Palestine since the years dot - Jews, Muslims and Christians living peacefully together through the comings and goings of a few Empires.

The Khazars came from Asia and ended up within the Russian Empire, later the USSR were they were prominent - they converted to Judaism in 7th-8th century and Zionism is their baby - Their people had never set foot in Palestine - and yet you for some extraordinary reason think that they have the right to murder the indigenous peoples in their thousands for their Land - it is genocide that you are cheering on - what sort of people are you? Is the question - What sort of people are Americans who cheer as the babies of indigenous people burn? I suppose the answer is the same as they have always been when the burned American indigenous babies and cut the dicks of black men and starved 1 million Germans to death, barbwire fenced into a rain sodden field with no food nor shelter -

Taken from another thread -

 

[as seen on tv]

hamas has been consistent about 2 things -

1 - inviting journalists to sites which are under attack by israel, cynically hoping that some member of the press becomes a casualty and this can be milked for "outrage"

2 - more laudibly, preventing their own trigger happy goons from shooting random press figures, and incurring a public relations disaster.

 

[MrMike]

I think that's one of the reasons they placed rocket launches next to a hotel (that journalists were using) and were cowards in remotely launching them from afar.

Hamas hoped the Israelis would hit the launch area next to that hotel and create a PR firestorm by killing foreign press. It looks like the Israelis ignored the bait on that one. It was pretty obvious what was going on.
