Yet more evidence that Hamas launches rocket attacks from civilian areas

Cynically trying to draw retaliatory fire that they can use for propaganda purposes. And as we can see from mainstream media coverage, it works. "Hamas launching rockets near civilian homes," by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik for Palestinian Media Watch, November 19:

During the last few days, Hamas terrorists have fired more than 100 rockets and missiles per day at Israeli cities. Israel launched Operation Pillar of Defense to destroy the terrorists' launching points and the rockets.

Now footage broadcast by Hamas on its Al-Aqsa TV documents what Israel has been reporting - that Hamas is launching its rockets from residential areas near civilian homes, essentially using the civilians as human shields....

Click to see a series of launches by Hamas near homes, broadcast on Hamas TV in the last few days.

In the past, Hamas has expressed pride in its policy of using civilians as human shields, and during the Gaza war (2008-2009) Palestinian eye witnesses explained how they became human shields when Hamas used their property as a launching site for rockets.

Putting rockets in civilian areas accomplishes several goals at once: It makes it less likely that the Israelis will strike, as, despite the propaganda, the jihadis know that Israel is civilized, unlike themselves; If the Israelis do strike and kill civilians, it makes for good TV; Any civilians killed become martyrs headed straight to jihadi heaven.
By the way, isn't it rather coincidental that HAMAS stepped up its attacks right after Obama got re-elected?

Hamas cannot fight with honor, no muslim fighter is able to conduct a fight like a real man. They need to hide behind civilian targets because that's what their "prophet" used to do.
After all, what do you expect from the followers of a "man" who used to wear his wife's pink dress?

Something which may be of use when one encounters people rabbiting on about disproportionality, and wringing their hands over the human shields of Gaza.

How To Lie With Statistics

Click on the link. Read it. Then make a copy and keep it up your sleeve for all those 'water cooler' conversations.


Interesting. I totally hate Obama but have been sceptical of the claims that he is really muslim and not born in the US. Then he went to Burma - a former British possession - funny that he always seems to want to claim former British possessions - except the bust of Churchill.
Then I saw him embrace and kiss Aung San Suu Kyi

She looked seriously uncomfortable with that but didn't when embracing Hilary Clinton.
Then of course he urged Burma to be kinder to the Muslim population - the Rohingya. WHY did he do that?
Could it be evidence that the conspiracy theorists are correct? That Obama is using taqquiya and kitman and all other "divinely sanctioned" muslim devices to lie and confuse? Or is it that he is damned if he does and damned if doesn't?
A conundrum but that is what muslims try to create so I am now somewhat confused.

ONE thing is sure. He is NOT one of your few good presidents and I despair that he was re-elected. In the UK our "good" PMs are also few and far between so I am not being "partial" in my condemnation.

I have no love, in general, for the Myanmar/ Burma regime: but as far as the Rohingya Muslims go, I hope they (the non-Muslim Burmese) tell Obama to go take a flying leap; and then I hope that they continue to 1/ deny the OIC a foothold and 2/ do whatever they have to do to keep the Rohingya from taking over. Evicting them all into Muslim Bangladesh - irrespective of whether Bangladesh wants to take them or not; of course it doesn't, because that way, they can be represented as poor lil persecuted babies with nowheres to go, just like the poooor 'palestinians' to whom *none* of the Arab states from which their (very, in most cases) recent ancestors mostly came, were willing to grant citizenship - seems to be about the only thing Burma can do, unless it is prepared to surrender Arakan to dar al Islam (in which case it would have to pull out *every* non-Muslim from Arakan, and it would be advised to evict *every* Muslim from any other part of Burma).

The Muslims in Arakan seem to be trying to pull exactly the same trick that the Albanian Muslims pulled in Kosova/ Kosovo; immigration Jihad. (And Muslims from Bangladesh are pulling the same trick in India's Assam and West Bengal, too, right now: swarming, settling, bullying the locals, starting riots, agitating, pushing pushing pushing for POWER).

Muslims from an Islamised area swarm over the border into a nearby non-Islamised area, both legally and illegally, then once the demographics go their way, push for total power and push out the indigenes (or crush them) and voila! dar al Islam, the de facto Empire of islam, just got bigger.

It's all in the blueprint: the takeover of Medina.

Medina unwisely gave Mohammed and his merry men refuge when they came whining to the door, pleading persecution and asking for pity and shelter...and then, once inside, over time Mohammed took over Medina and killed a whole lot of people and drove a lot of them out into exile (and pursued *those* and killed them too, later).

Did they aim any of those missiles at the musicians and studio where the accompanying music came from? Don't they know music is haram?

Bat Ye’or
