Hamas explains using civilians as human shields: "We desire death as you desire life." [Feb. 29, 2008]
The UN announcement that 51 civilians have died in the conflict in Gaza must be understood in the context of Hamas's declared ideology to use civilians as human shields for Hamas fighters.
Indeed, Hamas continues to emphasize and promote the religious ideology that death for Allah is an ideal to be actively pursued. The goal is to convince Palestinians, including women and children, not to fear death but even to face it at the front to protect Hamas fighters.
Hamas's placement of its military installations and fighters among civilians reflects this ideology, and has led to these 51 deaths.
A Hamas representative in the PA legislative council this year expressed pride in the fact that women and children are used as human shields in fighting Israel. He described it as part of a "death industry" at which Palestinians excel, and explained that the Palestinians "desire death" with the same intensity that Israelis "desire life."
The following is the full text of the comments by Hamas representative Fathi Hamad:
"For the Palestinian people death became an industry, at which women excel and so do all people on this land: the elderly excel, the Jihad fighters excel, and the children excel. Accordingly [Palestinians] created a human shield of women, children, the elderly and the Jihad fighters against the Zionist bombing machine, as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: We desire death as you desire life."

If they desire death more than life, why do they need land? Generally that is for living on....
Cowards, all of them.

I believe the Israelis can accommodate that desire...

This is so nuts.
If they desire death, then Israel should be their best friend right about now, what with granting them their wishes and all.
מנא ,מנא, תקל, ופרסין
If the Pallies desire death so much, why all the fuss? Aren’t their fondest desires being granted?
“We desire death as you desire life.”

Then why put your women and children in front of you in battle? Why hide then? Why escape when the Israelis are breathing down your neck? Why fire rockets and then run?
It appears that leadership doesn’t desire death at all. They volunteer their population to take up that worthy task.

And should. Immediately. Unfortunately, not all Palestinians really want to die. Probably not even the folks asking to die. Hamas & Hezbollah need to be obliterated, and then maybe we can find out how the rest of them really feel.

I feel much less guilty, then, about my desire to see them all vanish from the face of the Earth. They want to die, I want them to die, we’re all in agreement.
Agreed. I’ve always thought that the people who are oppressed by their own leaders need to step up to the plate and start taking action before they ask for help from outsiders - and thanks for your service.

Satan sure has a quirky sense of humor.
Whom are we to say their logic is wrong? I say let them live and die by it.
Of course the only problem with this will be the next step of them taking hostages and using them, oops they have done this already also.
Wake up people these terrorist are in no way Gods chosen, unless your God is pure evil. Learn about there culture and learn they will lie in your face and strength is the only way to ensure your Life and your children’s lives.
Islam was started by a coward and still oeprates under cowardice.
