 File under: Hamas 

#1 including 12 children

Most of whom were shooting at the Israelis or carrying ammo for those who were. The rest were being used as human shields. At least that would be my bet.

#2 Fifty Palestinians -- including 12 children -- were killed in the Israeli offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip on Monday

I wonder how many of those were killed by indiscriminate fire by Hamass TOWARD the Israelis, and how many were killed by the Israelis returning fire. I'd bet at LEAST 50/50, if not weighted heavily against Hamass.

I'm so confused! I thought they loved Death and all? So, you give them free Martyrdom, and they whine about it? Talk about being forced-fed chocolate! That's what this guy sez, too :

"You Threaten To Kill Us?! By Allah, You Are Threatening Us With What We Desire More Than Anything"

#5 There are no independent news sources in Gaza. Any claims or pictures coming out are coming from Hamas.

#6 Im sick of hearing about civilian deaths... Based on new reports from gaza every single death was an innocent women or child. The fact is once you strap a bomb vest to your women and children.. They are no longer Off limits!

#7 Even France 2 has bee fooled by Hamas propaganda

PARIS: France’s public broadcaster was forced to apologize to viewers yesterday after it mistakenly used amateur footage shot in 2005 to illustrate a report on the current Gaza conflict.

France 2 television on Monday broadcast part of an amateur video presented in a voiceover commentary as showing the fallout from an Israeli air strike on a civilian area in Gaza on January 1.

Dating from September 2005, the video, which has been widely circulated on the Internet, actually shows civilians wounded in the accidental explosion of a pick-up truck loaded with Hamas rockets at a rally in Jabaliya refugee camp.

#9 Keep on the offensive and leave them no quarter until the objective is achieved.

Hear that Olmert? Don't back down until the OBJECTIVE is ACHIEVED!

And perhaps more importantly, don't have so much as one inch of trust or one ounce of faith in anything your international 'allies' are about.

Bottom line, you own this and the only way out from under it is to make it work for Israel. It will also work for the Paleos accordingly.
