Gaza victims describe being used as human shields by Hamas

 Advertisements [?]

Members of a Gaza family whose farm was turned into a "fortress" by Hamas fighters have reported that they were helpless to stop Hamas from using them as human shields.

They told the official Palestinian Authority daily newspaper that for years Hamas had used their property and homes as military installations from which the group would launch rockets into Israel, dig tunnels and store arms. According to the victims, those who tried to object were shot in the legs by Hamas operatives.

Palestinian Media Watch quoted the official Palestinian Authority daily, Al-Hayat al-Jadida as reporting on January 27, "The Abd Rabbo family kept quiet while Hamas fighters turned their farm in the Gaza strip into a fortress. Right now they are waiting for the aid promised by the movement after Israel bombed the farm and turned it into ruins."

According to the report, the hill on which the Abd Rabbo family lives overlooks Sderot, making it an ideal military position for Hamas fighters.

The Abd Rabbo family members emphasized to the paper that they were not Hamas activists and that they were still loyal to the Fatah movement, but that they had been unable to prevent the armed squads from entering their neighborhood at night.

You know, if your farm sits on a militarily strategic spot of ground in a volatile area like the Gaza Strip, you have two options: 1) Build your own private army to defend it against all comers, or 2) Move somewhere less militarily strategic.

This is not unlike people who keep rebuilding their homes in the Missisippi River flood plains.

1. "They told the official Palestinian Authority daily newspaper"
   
"The Abd Rabbo family members emphasized to the paper that they were not Hamas activists and that they were still loyal to the Fatah movement"

i see some credibility problems.

When given the choice of terrorist or terrorist lite, one can count on the DUchebags to go with the greater of two evils.
