#8 today thousands marched in Paris and London demanding Israel stop defending itself so the hamas strategy is at least partially successful but those protestors probably are already pro hamas (which means they are pro genocide btw) |

#7 Let's see...they target Israeli civilians with their rockets, ineffective as they may be, and then when the Israelis strike back they bring their own civilians into the areas targeted by the Israelis. Then they cry about it to anyone who is dumb enough to listen. Very clever. Very effective...because there are soooooo many people who really are dumb enough to listen. |

#6 They are trying to win the propaganda, not the fighting. To do so, they have to get their kiddies killed in a most photogenic manner. And there is plenty of evidence to suggest it is not effective, starting with reaping the seeds of Green Helmet Man and Wailing Woman, and beginning with using dead kids from anywhere taken years ago as current media; even the BBC noticed. It is also spoken of CAIR playing along in the deception of truthiness. |

#5 Human shields? Would that be something akin to using a mass migration of women and children across international borders to mask illegal drug and human trafficking activities ? |

#4 Of course, using human shield IS a war crime. However, war crimes can only be committed by the US and Israel, just like only whites can be racist as articulated by the usual suspects who are no more held accountable for their actions than the perps who actually do war crimes. |

#3 the test of Hamas's human shield strategy will be when the IDF tanks roll in in jan 2009, when the tanks got in, the civilians scattered, still there were 1200+ deaths in Gaza Hamas claimed abut 900 were civilians, Israel estimated it to be more like 200; nevertheless, back then the EU was filled with anti Israel speeches, columns, etc. based on the civilian death count |

#2 Getting more of your people killed doesn't seem like the best way to win a war. In this particular war it does---read some pertinent recent history. p.s. They're overpopulated anyway. |

#1 A bit ironic that as weapons become smaller, more focused, and cause less collateral damage, the targets of said weapons are trying to get *more* people killed. Getting more of your people killed doesn't seem like the best way to win a war. |
