Didn't Condi call Hamas 'legitimate resistance group'? Kinda like the Tibetians resisting China.

These barbarians know that civilized people will hesitate to do what the barbarians wouldn't think twice about. At least the jihadis know the enemy.

Posted by: jewdog at January 6, 2009 8:33 PM

I'm not surprised at all. It has long been known that the muslims will waste civilians to give the enemy a bad name. The question is: What to do about it?

Somehow the general public must be made aware of the fact that such tactics are used by the muslims.

Posted by: seville844 at January 6, 2009 8:38 PM

Nothing surprising here. Look at the stupidity of the MSM? At this conflict the MSM is taking pictures of these supposedly hurt Muslim children, but they seem to always miss those Muslim children dressed up in military fatigues and marching around ready to do jihad. The same Palestinians Jihadi groups like Hamas plays the West with cunning and subterfuge. During war they show how these Muslim kids are hurt etc, but during the time when they are firing rockets they have their kids learning hatred and spouting hate, carrying and dressing up with explosive belts etc.

I am not sure if I believe the video. In YouTube, some posters have commented that the armed Palestine was actually dragging the kid to safety: "it looked like the armed guy was pulling the child OUT of danger, not holding him as a human shield. You can see other children crouching behind a wall (probably covering from israeli soldiers gunfire) and the armed man pulling the child out from behind a pole..."

Is this pro-Israel propaganda? Come on, guys, let's play fair.

Why would he need to be dragged to safety? Wouldn't he go of his own volition? And if it was about safety why didn't the guy gesture for everyone else to get out of the way or was he planning on dragging them away one by one?

Jeffrey Goldberg, who for a long time has reported on the Arab-Israeli war, and has been so careful to avoid the subject of Islam, and so cautiously neutral in his reportage that he has at times been taken to task at this website, finally can stand the nonsense and lies no longer, and lets loose in blog he does for "The Atlantic":

"Hamas terrorists unblinkingly and ostentatiously use their own civilians as human shields. I've seen this up-close, and it's repulsive. One story the media isn't telling, because it's impossible to get this story in these circumstances (especially because Israel stupidly won't allow foreign reporters into Gaza) is how much resentment the Hamas policy of using Palestinians as human shields causes among Gaza civilians. Early reports indicate that Hamas mortar teams were firing from the UN School. This shouldn't surprise anyone.

One more thing, speaking of pornography -- we've all seen endless pictures of dead Palestinian children now. It's a terrible, ghastly, horrible thing, the deaths of children, and for the parents it doesn't matter if they were killed by accident or by mistake. But ask yourselves this: Why are these pictures so omnipresent? I'll tell you why, again from firsthand, and repeated, experience: Hamas (and the Aksa Brigades, and Islamic Jihad, the whole bunch) prevents the burial, or even preparation of the bodies for burial, until the bodies are used as props in the Palestinian Passion Play. Once, in Khan Younis, I actually saw gunmen unwrap a shrouded body, carry it a hundred yards and position it atop a pile of rubble -- and then wait a half-hour until photographers showed. It was one of the more horrible things I've seen in my life. And it's typical of Hamas. If reporters would probe deeper, they'd learn the awful truth of Hamas. But Palestinian moral failings are not of great interest to many people."

Print that out. Send that around, to those who are fooled by Arab war propaganda, just as Hitler managed in 1938 to ascribe all sorts of trumped-up "atrocities" against the "Sudeteners" by the Czech police. Except that the Gazan Arabs, as Hezbollah in 2006, or the PLO in Beirut in 1982, all have much of the world press -- especially the vicious BBC -- hardly needing to be fooled, so eager is it to be, not so much pro-Arab, as malevolently anti-Israel.

I saw this vid last week and watched it a few times.

It seems to me if the child was being dragged to safety, the terrorist would have been shielding him, not using him as a shield as he clearly is doing.

And the kids on the "safe" side of the street would have been told to leave.
They are encouraged to be there and be shot for the camera.

Go IDF!!

I have personally seen this more than several times.

During 1991-1992 I was an infantry soldier in Han-Yunes (Gaza).
Whenever a suspect we were chasing had an opportunity they would grab a child as a shield, knowing that we would not fire at them.

This is a standard practice and the only reason you don't see it ever on TV is that the TV crews in Gaza are all very careful to only show what they want you to see.

"Let' play fair?"

Posted bt Rafa.

So you think the Israeli's are not playing fair by warning the civillians of gazastan to get out or not cooperate with the cowards of hamas?? You call playing fair shooting missles and mortars from schools, mosques, residences etc. fair? Since when do islamofacist terroists play fair, they never have and this type of cowardly warfare can be traced all the way back to mohammed. It is the "preferred way of muslim fighting. Using lies and deception against your enemy. Even if it means using your neighbors
kids as shield fodder. How about strapping a bomb onto your wife and sending her into an Israeli market or cafe. I supposse you think that is fair as well?

Do not be preaching to us about what is fair, Rafa. When the MSM only shows videos that are anti-Israel, and fuels Jew hatred around the globe
and yet you are saying that is fair.

I agree with duh_swami! What else can be said about such islamofacist, muslim cowards who "fight" like this? All I can add is you go ISrael, you go IDF! gazastan would make a great parking lot.

Some youtube posters are HAMAS apologists. Nothing new here. While a video by no means a clear cut, it certainly doesn't look like a child being pulled to safety. He is being pulled from behind a cover (a pole, and a wall in front) to an open street in a crowd that surrounds a HAMAS terrorist. He could just pulled him closer to the wall in front if the safety was a concern. However to rational personal to even put "concern" in the same sentence with such a medieval barbarians as HAMAS is somewhat laughable.

I've seen this video clip before . . .here is another copy Added: 09-Nov-06

Note, if the child was being pulled from danger, neither of the amused adult males casually strolling past the camera appear to be in the least bit concerned for their own safety.

This is a staged clip . . .Pure Pallywood

Posted by: heroyalwhyness at January 7, 2009 7:13 AM

If you wish to rescue a child pinned down then I would think the last thing you would do would be to send in an armed man to drag them out of the way.

The traditional way is to have unarmed people, under a flag of truce, rescue such a person.

A charitable analysis would be to assume that the person with slung weapon doesn't trust his comrades not to steal his firearm while he performs the rescue under flag of truce. And he's in such a hurry that the child in unfortunately left between him and any potential threat.

Yeah. That must be it. Sure.

war is hell and citizens of the nations waging war on each other die.........

Israel has the right and responsibility to protect Israel and Israel's citizens against the attacks from her enemies including hamas, hex, syria, iran.....

Israel needs to do what America did to end WW2...

nuke all of her enemies.......

than any left alive can then plead for peace....

WW3 is coming and it can not be stopped.....

Demographics in action. Grotesque. Welcome to the future.

Dragging children into the line of fired during jihad is just part of the course.

How will liberal tolerant European sensibilities deal with it then?

It would be amusing were it not so grotesque.

You would ofcourse have been a hero at 8 years of age when bullets would be wizzing past your head...
People can freeze up from shock and won't be able to run anywhere, just like a deer in the headlights of your car.

So fair is fair, it could very possibly be that the child was dragged to safety, but it isn't, in my opinion, in my line of expectation. I mean, hamas uses school, hospitals, homes of civilians as launching grounds for their missiles. They store weapons in between civilians. They themselves go into hiding when they tell the civilians to stay in their houses. They stop wounded people from being treated in Egypt. They are just doing absolutely everything and anything to show the world that they are the victims.

So I wouldn't be surprised if that man was using the child as a harnas so the Israeli soldiers would seize fire.

But I can't draw final conclusions without more evidence and I think people should do the same.
Fair is fair!

Btw, I was looking at a couple of other video's and I saw a rocket attack on Haifa.
That girl I know who is in the Israeli army is from Haifa.
I have her in my mind since I heard about the ground offensive and I hope she and her fellow soldiers and the innocent people from both sides will be alright.

But those hamas bastards and their like minded foes should get burned to the ground!

Posted by: Sic at January 7, 2009 12:26 PM

The whole World except muslims knows that Israel is trying very hard to minimize civilian casualty while the palestians are trying even harder to insure maximum casualty to use as bargaining chips and public opinion.

I credit the IDF for keeping the casualties very very low, under 10,000 people. Had the palestinian had it their way they would have it over 10,000. The palestinians tried very hard and failed to push the casualties to 10,000 or over.

The muslim community should very grateful to the IDF professionalism that has saved tens of thousands of muslims in Gaza that hamas wanted sacrificed.

Posted by: American at January 7, 2009 9:20 PM

Let us pray for the safety of Palestinian civilians who held hostages by Hamas and the safety of Israeli soldiers. May this campaign end swiftly and may Hamas be annihilated. May moderate Muslims emerge victorious in the struggle for Gaza!
