#15  What were little children doing there?

Taking care of the puppies, kittens and baby ducks, what else?

(You'll know they got hit good if they have that psychotic Farful, or whatever that Mickey Mouse knock-off's name is, staggering onto the set of that kiddie program wearing a sling.)

#14  CBS showed pix last night of wounded little children being carried from the rubble. I might have felt sorry for them but for two things:

1) standard propaganda technique

2) IAF bombed Hamas HQ. What were little children doing there?

#13  Nothing new. The idea that the Iranians were taking control was advanced when Hamas first took over Gaza.

#12  This is nothing but the work of Iran again

#11  Ok OK. Bloody nit pickers ye all are. Retract the term "brains" and insert "middle management." Correct all communiques. That is all. Now back to my popcorn.

#9  "They got the propaganda, but they are losing the brains, too."

Brains? This is Ham-Ass we're talking about here, AP.

What brains?

#8  Let's look at this objectively, folks. Hamas has been pushing Israel's buttons for months. They don't have much to go after the Israelis with except a bunch of jihadi idiot-bots. So they play the humanitarian crisis card. They cause enough trouble to close the border, to stop supplies, to stop fuel and electricity. Instant humanitarian crisis. Then they push Iareal's buttons a little too much, and the IAF takes out their HQ. Now their staff is being degraded. They got the propaganda, but they are losing the brains, too.

#7  those aren't wopunded and if they are they are walking wounded, what makes you think Hamas even gives a shit about even their own woumded they would rathe rkeep them for the propaganda purpose if nothing else sounds like you got a hard on for Hamas too me

#6  Pappy,
This article proves me correct.

"hundreds have crossed the frontier prompting Egyptian border guards to open fire"

#5  Egypt is doing the actual "not allowing the wounded to leave Gaza."

Considering the number of reporters at the Rafah crossing, that's doubtful.

#4  "Hamas said it was drawing up lists of the wounded"

Talk about unclear on the concept....

Hey, Ham-Ass - "drawing up a list" NEVER treated a wound/saved a life.

Keep up the good work.

#3  Don't get fooled people. Egypt is doing the actual "not allowing the wounded to leave Gaza." Egypt can care less about the number of Hamas wounded. This is just your typical "put on a good face" propaganda from Egypt.

#2  Kind of like Green Helmet Guy's manhandling around a dead girl's body for hours.

Look for the same body appearing in several different 'scenes'.

#1  Photogenic wounded are solid gold for propaganda purposes. They are going nowhere.
