Palestinian Girl: "I Say Hamas, Is The Cause, In The First Place, Of All Wars"

The family of this Palestinian girl was killed yesterday in Gaza. Her reaction was to rightly blame Hamas:


The following was written on December 29, 2008 by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook of Palestinian Media Watch (http://pmw.org.il/Bulletins_Dec2008.htm#b2912082"):

"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.'"
