| Hamas Uses Children, UN, Press As Human Shields In Gaza |
| 2009-01-15 |
| Good analysis and summary, EFL Jerusalem --- January 15, 2009...... Hamas has again used children, the UN and the press as human shields in Gaza. Hamas fired several rounds of mortar rockets at Israel Defense Forces from within and around the United Nations headquarters building in Gaza. The IDF responded with artillery fire killing several Hamas terrorists and wounding several civilians who they were hiding behind. The UN compound and a nearby warehouse were set on fire. Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the IDF had fired in self defense at the U.N. compound after Hamas terrorists opened fire from the location. "It is absolutely true that the IDF was attacked from that place, but the consequences are very sad and we apologize for it," he said. "I don't think it should have happened and I'm very sorry." A senior Israel IDF officer had also said that Israel hit the compound after coming under fire from Palestinian terrorists. In fierce fighting taking place today, Hamas officials confirmed that an Israel airstrike killed the Hamas interior minister, who oversaw thousands of security agents in the Gaza Strip. The IDF confirmed the airstrike. Hamas television said that Hamas Interior Minister Said Siam was killed in a strike that flattened a home in Gaza City. A top aide, Siam's brother and his brother's family were also killed. Siam is considered to be among Hamas' top five leaders in Gaza. One IDF officer told Sky News: "Hamas will most likely claim victory after this operation is over, but they know that we know that they have a problem." Iran has threatened to stop all aid and weapons to Hamas if they stop fighting. Hamas has responded by speaking with Egypt hoping that they could arrange a cease-fire before more Hamas leadership dies in fighting. "If Hamas terrorists in Mexico and Canada started to fire rockets and missiles at US cities, how would the US respond, how would any nation respond in defending their citizens?" In Israel's fight to defend itself against Hamas terror attacks against civilian populations, Israel is faced with moral challenges unprecedented in their complexity. Hamas, as a basic element of its strategy, exploits the Palestinian populations, the UN and the press as shields for its terrorist operations and infrastructure. This cynical strategy include the following tactics: the deliberate launching of rocket from populated areas, the deliberate use of civilian homes and UN bases to shield Hamas arms and explosives manufacturing facilities and the deliberate use of civilians as human shields against anticipated airstrikes. Attention, progressive journalists everywhere! Here's your chance to make a real contribution to hope and change, and possibly earn that big city gig you would literally kill for. Just send Achmed the contract stringer to find out where the Hamas leadership is hiding, then take yourself and the entire combined staffs of BBC, CNN, and Reuters to that place and camp out on the roof while you wait your turn for an exclusive interniew. The evil Juice will surely surrender in the face of this mighty display of world opinion, and you will be headed for honor, glory, free blow from coast to coast, and a Pulitzer prize. Do it now, riches await. |
