It's a good thing Hamas uses rockets instead of these, because then there would be real trouble. / sarc

In Gaza, it targets Israeli citizens with rockets, then shields its fighters behind Palestinian civilians.
A temporary cease-fire in Gaza that simply allows Hamas to obtain more lethal weapons will assure a repetition of Hamas' win-win tactic of firing rockets at Israeli civilians while using Palestinian civilians as human shields.
The best example of Hamas' double war crime tactic was Tuesday, when it succeeded in sending a rocket to a town less than 20 miles south of Tel Aviv and injuring a child. At the same time, it provoked Israel to attack a United Nations school from which Hamas was launching its rockets. Residents of the neighborhood said two Hamas fighters were in the area at the time, and the Israeli military said they had been killed, according to the New York Times.
The Hamas tactic of firing rockets from schools, hospitals and mosques dates back to 2005, when Israel ended its occupation of Gaza. Several months ago, the head of the Israeli air force showed me a videotape (now available on YouTube) of a Hamas terrorist deliberately moving his rocket launcher to the front of a U.N. school, firing a rocket and then running away, no doubt hoping that Israel would then respond by attacking the rocket launcher and thus killing Palestinian children in the school.
This is the Hamas dual strategy: to kill and injure as many Israeli civilians as possible by firing rockets indiscriminately at Israeli civilian targets, and to provoke Israel to kill as many Palestinian civilians as possible to garner world sympathy.

wait..I have to clean my bifocals..an accusation of HAMAS war crimes (hiding behind women and childre) from the LA Times??
this will be refuted by the NY Times as soon as they can..
Got all excited but then realized it was an opinion piece.
Muslim scum = muslim scum.
only thing I can think of is “the one” is getting ready to “rule” so all the “rules” have changed regarding reporting (no Republican in the WH)..
only thing that makes sense..
More than likely, a lot of the dead civilians we’re hearing about in the “news” were killed by the Islamofascists themselves who know that the white, college boys in the western “media” would be all over the story in order to turn “world opinion” against the Israelis and the U.S. That’s the way murdering terrorists usually operate. They know that the white boys in the western “media” are their friends.
Hamas cited for doing something bad?
I thought it was all the Juice fault?
/s
Didn’t see one You Tube video of the UN school and Hamas firing rockets...wonder if they’re taking them off...where O where is the truth? Israeli’s slaughtering children?? What is wrong with my last sentence?
I remember another country that fired rockets indiscriminately against civilians. Some of their cities wound up burned to the ground.
And not a word of complaint from the UN -- Get the UN out of the US NOW!!

And you won’t hear anything either!
Neither will you hear them rescind their claim that the Israelis killed one of their drivers even though the investigation pointed the finger at Hamas.
Nor will you hear a peep from them after they got caught trying to smuggle in fatigues disguised as humanitarian aid.
