Israel-Palestine-Jordan

Hamas admits it DID use schools and hospitals in Gaza Strip as 'human shields'

2014-09-13

[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, appeared to admit using human shields to fire rockets into Israel for the first time today, but refused to accept responsibility for the slaughter of hundreds of innocent Paleostinians killed in retaliatory ~~Arclight~~ airstrikes.

In a veiled confession that comes two weeks after the end of the Gazoo war, a senior Hamas official said the group's fighters had no choice but to use residential areas from which to launch missiles into their neighbour's territory.

But while Ghazi Hamad claimed they took safeguards to keep people away from the violence, he admitted 'mistakes were made', blaming Israel's heavy-handed response for the deaths of civilians.

#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.

#9 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.

#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?"

"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.

#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.
