File under: Hamas

#1 Hamas is forced to admit the obvious, theres too much evidence all over Gaza.

Rocket launchers partially buried by the rubble of a school or mosque is a bit tough to explain away.

#2 the group's fighters had no choice but to use residential areas from which to launch missiles into their neighbour's territory.

"The bitch made me do it"

The Israelis kept saying rockets were fired from schools or hospitals when in fact they were fired 200 or 300 meters (yards) away.

OK, so they weren't fired exactly from schools and hospitals. Pity counter-battery fire cannot make such subtle distinctions.

#5 "We're crowded and close together - you can't throw a ~~rocket or mortar~~ dead cat without hitting a school or hospital here. What are we supposed to do?"

#8 That's got to be an ass-kicker for the MSM who painted the Paleos as the victims of the Jews.

Anything that doesn't fit the narrative, gets filtered out---subconsciously.

#10 "What choice did they have? It's the most crowded place on earth(TM)!!" exclaim the Israel haters.

It's not, of course. Not even close. There are plenty of beaches, farmland, and pasturage where they could shoot off their little toys without any civilians nearby. But that would be more dangerous for the rocketeers.
