    I’m not apologizing for anything. The ‘enlightened’ leftists and college ‘protestors’ need to realize a cold hard fact. When you hide your forces among civilians and use them as human shields to protect military installations (ammo dump, command center, launchers, etc), in effect deliberately maximizing your own civilian casualties to dissuade attacks, you are not only committing a war crime, but you are forfeiting the protections of those civilians under international law, and those installations remain a valid military target in the eyes of the law.

    So by Hamas operating out of schools, mosques, refugee camps, hospitals, and other civilian areas, they are the ones responsible for those civilian deaths, because they are putting civilians in harms way.

      What are you talking about? No one is defending Hamas.

      maximizing your own civilian casualties to dissuade attack

      The civilians do not belong to Hamas. What exactly do you mean by “your own civilian casualties?”

      So by Hamas operating out of schools, mosques, refugee camps, hospitals, and other civilian areas, they are the ones responsible for those civilian deaths, because they are putting civilians in harms way.

      No. Whoever killed the innocent people is responsible.
