If the homes are booby-trapped... shouldn’t the IDF the allow the Red Cross access (with television crews filming)?

That way, when the rubble goes *BOOM!* and the Red Cross personnel die, the world has live coverage as to why.

One of the common values between us and the Israelis - is respect for human life. Like us, Israel will not risk the lives of emergency personnel in an attempt to make a point and let the press watch Red Cross workers be blown up and die.

Similarly a US fire chief will not let his men enter an unstable burning building, even if there are live victims inside. A US military commander will not order or permit his troops to enter an ambush even if it is baited with innocent victims.

Besides, Hamas would simply claim the Israels did the booby traps and the press would accept this. It is literally a no-win for Israel, given the uncritical “journalism” of the liberal media that is feeding propaganda to the world about what is happening.

I have been thinking about how and why there would be multiple cases of dead women in houses, with small children under blankets beside them. My conclusion is that Hamas is killing women and staging their death scenes, and letting their small children stay with their bodies to starve- to try and draw the Israelis into booby-trapped houses and ambushes- and to heighten world animus against Israel. There is no other logical explanation of even more than one case of a woman being in a house dead and covered, and all of their small children being alive and uninjured.
