Cowardice

Hamas terrorists are brave when they strap bombs to school children and then pay off their families. They are incredibly photogenic to Western media when they parade around a flag-draped coffin. But when it comes to hiding behind women, they is no one like them.

Holed up in a mosque and under Israeli fire, Hamas appealed to women to converge on the mosque so the men could be smuggled out. They did, with the expected results.  There were the usual celebrations as men fired in the air with their Kalashnikovs.

A terrorist disease A senior member of Hamas, another terrorist organization, and a spokesman for the Hamas-led government, Ghazi Hamad, openly wondered if violence is a Palestinian "disease" -- and then provided the answer.

Hamad wrote that 175 Palestinians had been killed by “Palestinian gunfire” since the beginning of the year.

Despite that, however, a search of news stories result in a focus on "Israeli clashes kill 7 in Gaza" as though the deaths were civilian. They were Hamas terrorists manning a rocket launching site responsible for sending rockets into Israel. To the always-biased Associated Press, the headline was "Israel ramps up Gaza offensive; 4 dead" No mention of the reason, that even the New York Times acknowledged as "Israel Steps Up Attacks to Halt Palestinian Rockets".
