Human shields: Where's the outrage?

Hamas' use of the children and other innocents as human shields at the UN school got its desired effect yesterday. They fired mortars on Israeli troops, the troops returned the fire, and dozens of civilians died or were injured, along with the terrorists. There is a library full of evidence proving it isn't the first time Hamas has used innocents as human shields.

Hamas built armories in the basements of mosques and schools, private homes and hospitals. They create their bunkers and weapons factories in crowded neighborhoods. All of this "construction" was done out in the public. Under the watchful eye of the UN as well as human right's organizations such as Amnesty, Human Rights Watch (HRW), and B'tselem.

Where was Ken Roth, head of Human Rights Watch when Hamas was violating international law and setting up children as human shields? He was busy trumping up accusations of collective punishment against Israel for defending herself.

How about Irene Khan the Secretary General of Amnesty International? Surely she must have noticed that Hamas was "drawing targets" on hospital beds? No She was too busy blasting Israel for occupying Gaza, even though Israel left Gaza three years ago.

Where is the outrage? Easy.

Its in the same undisclosed location with the outrage over the shoe thrower attacking the President a couple of weeks ago.

In fact, it's the rule over there. ...and with jihadis in general the world over.

Now, now, don’t get excited. The jihadis are just helping these children to attain their 72 virgins at a young age. Besides, the kids’ parents have already told them that there is fame for them (the parents) if their children die in jihad.

Hate is a powerful motivator.

The more that are killed today, the fewer that will need killing later. Make no mistake, the longer this goes on, the worse it will be to clean it up.
WW3 and the world sits around wanting someone to do the work.
Who will step up and end this s##t. There is only one way.

It’s really just Israel’s fault yet you see. It’s their fault these peace loving muslims are forced to fire mortars from the roofs of schools. If Israel wasn’t such a bunch of big bullies, there wouldn’t be any problems inthe middle east. La-la-la-la-la.....
