Jewish Leaders defend Gaza strike
Boston Globe, United States
Hamas’s disregard for Israeli life is matched by its disregard for the lives of Palestinians living in Gaza. Using innocent Palestinians as human shields, Hamas purposely fires its missiles from homes, schools and community centers, confident in the knowledge that when Israel finally acts to stop the killing of its own civilians, Palestinians will also inevitably be harmed. The use of Palestinian civilians as human shields is not merely unspeakably cruel. It is also a fundamental violation of Palestinian human rights by the Hamas leadership.
Israel cares deeply about protecting the lives of civilians, both in Israel and in the Gaza Strip. Its efforts this weekend to stop the Hamas attacks represent classic self-defense, undertaken reluctantly by an Israeli nation that longs for peace.
Israel is now compelled to act to defend its citizens.

**The use of Palestinian civilians as human shields is not merely unspeakably cruel.**
Hamas doesn’t care about Civilians (except the PR Value)... Israel should not care, either.
Surprising to read a news article which supports Israel and explains what Hamas is doing. Most news sources seem to leave out this important piece of information. Thanks.
