In their own words: an example of how Hamas embeds in hospitals
It’s a war crime to take hostages. It’s a war crime to hide them in hospitals. It’s a war crime to conduct military operations and/or terrorist operations from a hospital. Hamas does this regularly, the world knows it, and the world – except for just a few countries – doesn’t care, or actually approves:
Hamas in their own words:
Ahmad Kahalot—Senior Hamas Member since 2010 and director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalya in northern Gaza admits that Hamas has used hospitals as military facilities under their control.

In addition, you’ve probably seen many videos or read many articles in which Palestinian doctors or nurses talk about the number and nature of casualties. Although there is no question there are indeed Palestinian civilian casualties, you cannot trust a single word the Palestinian doctors or nurses say as Hamas operatives or sympathizers, . We simply don’t know how many civilian casualties there are – and virtually all of them are the fault of Hamas purposely using the population of Gaza as human shields.
We have known this for decades. And yet the fiction goes on that it’s not happening, and no amount of evidence convinces many – most? – pro-Palestinians otherwise.
Back in 87, I visited Central America under Center for Global Education. El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Saw the dog&pony shows laid on for the peace freak trade. Got on to some mailing lists of folks who thought I believed them.
There was an article by Sally Miles about Low Intensity Conflict. The US and Salvadoran governments were using it. Problem was…it worked. Locals were coming on side. But….cue the cello in the key of ominous…there were not enough dead peasants to raise the consciousness of the American people.
So, I’m not sure we have ignorance, deliberate or otherwise about civilian casualties.
For our domestic enemies, there is no number of dead Gazan civilians which is high enough. So if they can’t be provided by Hamas;’ well-known and approved tactics, they’ll have to be invented.
To give the pro-Palestinian folks the gift of presuming they actually care is improvident. For them, the more the merrier.
Western non-Muslim ‘pro-Palestinian’ supporters are busily sawing off the branch upon which they sit.
At what point does gullibility become intentional willful blindness?
I know that Hamas is responsible for the violence and killing. Why would they start an all-out war with an enemy they know to be superior? They claim they expected the Arab world to rise up and attack Israel with them. Really?
It’s heartbreaking to see the pictures of the ruins in Gaza. You surmise that many civilians have died. But then you have to go back and remember that the ruins and the combat were all begun and continue because of Hamas and their vicious attack on Israel.
The fighting could end tomorrow if Hammas would surrender unconditionally. But they won’t. They’re ready to fight to the last civilian as their shield.
Our daughter holds an annual Christmas party for her friends and associates, most of whom are liberals. (Of course, it’s the People’s Republic of Puget Sound.) She was amazed to find that all of them are disturbed by the anti-Israel/anti-Jew demonstrations. She senses that some may be reconsidering their political positions. Several are also concerned about the rising lawlessness in the Puget Sound area. So, maybe some minds are changing. It’s a small sample (16), but a sign of hope. Well, it’s Christmas, the season of hope.
we struggle to admit when the islamic resistance movement, cites khaybar that was the wiping out of the last jewish settlement on the Peninsula, that’s their intention, when they talk of settlers, they meant netivot as well as haifa or jerusalem,
here’s their pr wing

Geoffrey Britain, you know quite well that the positions they are currently taking will be gaslighted away when needed. In the time it takes for you or anyone else to prove that they did in fact take those positions the next big lie will have traveled half way around the world.
The Palestinians are allowed to lie.
So are the Iranians.
So is the Democratic Party.
Coincidence?
Abba eban was wrong they take every opportunity to kill
My idiot Sister-in-Law says the Palestinians are being martyred. I reminded her that the men are no doubt motivated by being taught by their religious leaders that they will be cable to bang 24 virgins in heaven, so no problem. But, I asked what is the reward of the women and children who are killed? She somehow didn’t think that was relevant.
Naturally, she is an ardent feminist who is also deeply concerned about the welfare of children.
