Hamas uses ambulances with children inside to get around in Gaza and avoid IDF missile strikes. Often they kidnap the children off of the street and force them to be their unwilling human shield.

The hospital which was bombed was being used by Hamas as their defacto headquarters to direct missile strikes into Israel.

Then there is a the case of Hamas getting caught storing their missiles in schools and mosques and, of course, the Palestinians themselves send their own children to act as human shields to prevent Israel from firing back. At this point only fools and liars won't admit that the reason those locations are being targeted is because Hamas has turned them into military targets. This will stop when Palestinians stop being subhuman ****stains but not before because they are 100% responsible for this happening, they know it, Israel knows it, western governments know it, and the only people who don't seem to know it are ignorant limp wristed westerners who refuse to look at what is actually happening.

Yes, thousands of homes of innocent civilians, not to mention 84 schools and 23 medical facilities BEFORE the ground offensive...

Your blatant callousness really shocks me TMM - how many more children are you happy to see die before this pointless operation ends?

I am not happy to see them die, but again, Israel would be irresponsible to not respond to obvious military attacks.

Hamas knew what they were risking when they started this.

And, of course, this isn't a new thing as here is Hamas doing the same thing with kids in the 2009 offensive.

Mobius, you're just being a tool right now. If you allow Hamas to block retaliation because it is using human shields then you're basically saying Israel should just sit there allowing missiles to keep hitting their country and do nothing in response. Your position is unreasonable and extremist. Even the Geneva and Hague conventions say protected sites (like schools or hospitals) are fair game if one side uses them for military purposes (which is EXACTLY what the ****stains are doing here) so stuff it with your hyperbolic fake outrage. Israel IS following the laws of war to the letter and I suggest you learn what those laws are before you start falsely claiming they're being broken.

Being more evil than Hamas is probably the worst way to get the world to focus its outrage on Hamas.

Also, Oerdin... you might be the least intelligent person on this site.

[The Mad Monk]

They are destroying the tunnels and underground infrastructure, in they went in because the bombing wasn't cutting it.

[The Mad Monk]

...and the true victims are the civilian populations of both sides.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

imagine if everyone over there on both sides had to be nice to each other - nice to anyone and everyone, had to help one another... if you say or do anything bad, intense pain rips through your body (say aliens are trying to fix humans so we stop killing each other).

that might work... hmmm... something new for DARPA to work on.

[Dinner]

The side which is using non-military locations for military activities is 100% responsible for turning those sites into valid military targets. Hamas and no one else is responsible for those locations being destroyed and that is completely allowed by the Geneva conventions. So please spare us the fake outrage from ignorant people who don't even know that facts before they mouth off about the supposedly evil Jews.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

who is winning now?

Now citizens of Gaza appear to be applying tunnel thinking to its attack strategy. A new network of Hamas-built tunnels into Israel was created expressly for launching attacks, according to news reports.

Operation Protective Edge began last Thursday after 13 Palestinian fighters emerged from a tunnel near a kibbutz in southern Israel.

Since then, Israel has released videos of its soldiers destroying tunnels. "There is a world of weapons tunnels penetrating into Israel, creating the possibility of a mega-attack," an Israeli minister told reporters.

In a public statement released as the incursion began, Hamas said that the new tunnels—some of which apparently extend hundreds of yards into Israeli territory—are just one of the "surprises" it has in store for Israelis.

The tunnels represent "a new strategy in confronting the occupation and in the conflict with the enemy from underground and from above the ground," former Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniya has said.

The new tunnels are not the old tunnels. Hamas has said so itself. They are going into Israel, and were built with the intent of attacking Israel.

Being more evil than Hamas is probably the worst way to get the world to focus its outrage on Hamas.

Also, Oerdin... you might be the least intelligent person on this site.

You want to know what is unintelligent? You and Mobius saying Hamas should get away scot free and be able to attack Israel without them getting to fire back. Israel is following the Geneva convention to the letter and it is you anti-Israel folks who are being both unintelligent and unreasonable.

[Dinner]

Why do you seem to hate ALL arabs, Oerdin!!?

I keep ignoring your strawman argument if that's what you mean. This is about Hamas not "all Arabs" and the very fact that you have to resort to such nonsense tells me you know you have nothing.

[Dinner]

Yes the same thing as the 2009 offensive, you moron. Obviously the 2009 offensive failed, as did the **** in 2012 - ad nauseam

Yes, Israel is targeting women and children - following the laws of war to the letter!

Pity it's not following all the other international laws that caused this impasse in the first place...

They're targeting Hamas folks and if people are stupid enough to allow themselves and/or their children to be used as human shields then I have no sympathy for them. They made their choices. You might wonder why Hamas now universally uses human shields where as a few years ago most of them didn't? Why that would be because some soft hearted person allowed Hamas targets to get away when they did use human shields so now EVERY Hamas person makes use of human shields. When you allow a tactic to have military results then they'll keep using it. You want to stop the use of human shields? Show it has no effect and blow the target sky high every time even if they have human shields. THAT will reduce the willingness of people to let themselves or their children be used as human shields just as not firing INCREASED the use of human shields.

That you keep claiming Israel is intentionally targeting women and children, something which is completely untrue, just goes to show how biased you are against Israel and how your anti-Israeli stance has become knee jerk.
