Hamas Using Hospital As Cover for Rocket Launch
November 20, 2012 21:51 by Pesach BensonUPDATE 11/21 1:07 pm: Hamas acknowledged this. According to The Independent:
Hamas officials at the hospital were asked how firing rockets from such a built-up area could be justified as it is likely to provoke Israeli action. One said Palestinians were merely defending themselves, another that it was probably the work of the Islamic Jihad militia.
In other words, It wasn’t me, and it’s no big deal anyway. But it’ll be screams of bloody murder if the IDF so much as double parks in front of the entrance.

The Globe & Mail‘s Patrick Martin reports that Palestinians launched rockets at Israel in proximity to Shifa Hospital. Here’s a screengrab from G&M feed run by the paper’s multi-media journalist, Affan Chowdhry.
As my daughter said about the likelihood of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh hiding in Shifa Hospital, aizeh chutzpah!

So what is new here? All the Islamic mentality uses the same expression of freedom in screaming how bad the Jews are, how unfortunate they are, Israeli aggression, they hide behind the skirts of women use human shields and utilise civilian areas ro fire missiles.
These Islamics have less bravery than the women who serve in the IDF, who show such courage.
What a load of wimps these Arabs are. They can only win their ways buy support from the west who digest their lies eagely.

“500 meters or so east of the hospital”
That’s half a kilometre,…not the hospital itself.

With precision targeting 500m is a long way away
When both groups practicing “an eye for an eye” what hope is there?
Suffer little children.
Thank God for MSF

The Hamas complains about Israeli blockade on Gaza. How did all the rockets get to them? They did not grow in their back garden! Instead of rockets they could bring in food. The money spent on arms could build schools and hospitals.
For many years they were sending rockets aimed at Israeli towns and villages whose residents had to run for shelter at a few second’s notice. In Gaza there are no shelters. The construction materials wre used in tunnels. The leaders took shelter in hospitals and kidergartens.
The Hamas hs its priorities.

1. 500m in Gaza is a bloody big proportion of the whole pie …. gaza is not the USA…. it is 10 by 36 km or so… so 500m ,,, 0.5km is a big chunk and a far away place.
2. Rockets get to Gaza via Israel with the knowledge of the Israelis unless the Israelis are so fucking stupid, they cannot stop a missile getting in (not a can of tuna) — which the Jordanians seem to be easily going with Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Bloody Arabia as neighbors.
