Gazans Feeling Recoil of Attacks on Israel
Long article, this is at the end of it...In a Palestinian government building taken over by Hamas, an official talked of using Gaza's civilians to make an impact on the other side. After the "moral victory" of the destruction of the border wall with Egypt, Hamas now is considering sending Palestinian women and children to the border walls with Israel to demand their opening, said Ahmed Youssef, an adviser to the Hamas foreign ministry. He shrugged at the risk. "We're taking our kids, they will join us. Let them kill them," Youssef said, wearing a rumpled business shirt and tie at his desk. Youssef said the rocket attacks were worth the toll on the people of Gaza. "It's a way to defend ourselves," Youssef said. "Instead of waiting here to die, it's a way to defend ourselves." The Hamas official acknowledged one recourse that the ordinary people of Gaza lack: When lights go out during a dinner party with foreign guests, Youssef said, he can call the Gaza power company to have them turned back on.
