| Netanyahu adviser: Condemn Hamas' use of journalists as human shields |
| 2021-05-17 |
| [NY Post] Instead of outrageously criticizing Israel for targeting a terror complex disguised as an office building, it is Hamas that must be strongly condemned for its deliberate use of foreign journalists as human shields. On Saturday, the Israeli Air Force rightfully struck an emptied 12-story tower in Gaza that was utilized by Hamas as a center for waging its latest murderous campaign on Israeli civilians. The terror tower was used as a Hamas operations base for gathering intelligence for attacks against Israelis, researching and developing weapons and positioning equipment to hamper IDF operations. The jihad building was only targeted after the IDF first warned civilians inside about an impending strike and waited enough time for the occupants to entirely evacuate. Israeli warnings included calls and SMS to the building’s residents and "roof knocker" explosives that make loud noises but do not cause real damage. The IDF watched as Hamas and the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad terror groups utilized the warning time to remove objects from the building, perhaps munitions to kill more Israelis. Hamas provides no such warning when they daily commit the double war crimes of firing rockets indiscriminately into Israeli cities and launching those rockets from Palestinian civilian zones. As of this writing, Hamas fired over 2,900 rockets from Gaza into Israel, carried out border attacks and instigated violent riots across the Jewish state, killing ten Israelis including two children. This week’s case is far from the first time Hamas used journalists as human shields. During the 2014 Gaza War, Hamas was caught red-handed launching rockets 50 yards from a Gaza hotel known to be housing foreign journalists. The same rocket launcher was positioned about 100 yards from a United Nations building flying the UN flag outside. |

| #1 Who says a hamas member can't be hired as a journalist by these vultures? Why just human shields? I fully expect their 'war reporters' to be creating the war as they cover it. |
