Your premise has no relation to reality. A more realistic reading is that Hamas forces residents to be shields, in essence kidnapping them. That makes Hamas guilty of their deaths.

It wasn't a premise.

If you have evidence that Hamas uses force in order to make Gazans into human shields, or "kidnaps" them, well let's be having it. Otherwise, you appear to be guilty of being a Hamas-demonising Israel apologist. Prove me wrong. But prove means prove, John.

Also, Steve,I said, below, that I googled 'hamas kills palestineans' and found citations that Hamas actually kills Gazans. Can I be any clearer than that?

Yes, you couldn't be clearer. You googled something. That's clear. Nine times out of ten, when I google something, I get rubbish. It can sometimes be hard to distinguish, of course, as we all know. Let's have details of your alleged "citations". It's piss or get off the pot time, John.
